Yoga and HIV-Positivity

AIDS is spreading in the world as a fire and there are not medical, pharmacological valid treatments yet.

Yoga practices can be helpful for HIV positive people or people living with AIDS, as support for ongoing habitual treatments.

Some asanas of Yoga are able to set a minimum balance in the energetic system, others directly work on the thymus, which plays an important role on the immune system, and others act on regularization of endocrine glands secretion.

Breathing techniques can increase the level of vital energy and oxygenation, which is a very important factor for a body affected by HIV.

Relaxation practices help to restore proper rhythm of sleep and to better manage tensions associated with the disease.

Hatha Yoga purification techniques are able to remove toxins and impurities from physical body and relaxation and meditation practices favour nervous equilibrium, calm, peace of mind, clarity of thought and concentration that develops will strength.

Positive autosuggestions and some constructive and encouraging visualizations can help an HIV positive person to improve the quality of life.
