An 86-year-old grandmother had long-standing problems with her spine and scoliosis.
Her condition was so bad that she almost stopped walking altogether
Then an acquaintance advised her to try yoga. She wanted to correct her back naturally, without having to take expensive synthetic pills or undergo other painful procedures. Whether she succeeded will be revealed shortly.
Yoga
Yoga is an ancient, universal practice for body and mind that people around the world have practiced for several centuries, if not millennia. Yoga has a number of beneficial qualities and effects that help heal our body and mind. Yoga is among the proven methods and exercises that have been used worldwide for a very long time. Yoga is an excellent means of maintaining one’s figure and calming the mind. It is part of Eastern culture, which is particularly adapted for the cleansing of mind and body. Sometimes, however, yoga is the only possible way to resolve these problems.
Older woman Anna Pesche suffered from scoliosis for many years
Over time her pain became unbearable and the woman almost stopped moving. Any movement caused her great difficulty. Scoliosis is a fairly common condition in which the spine curves to one side. Most patients who suffer from this condition are offered spinal correction or surgery. However, Anna decided she would accept neither of these options and chose to address the condition her own way.
A miracle within a month
Her choice was yoga. Before yoga she tried many methods, such as acupuncture, sessions with a physiotherapist, manual therapies and others. Everything helped, but only had a temporary effect. In the end she found a yoga instructor, Rachel, who worked miracles with her after a month. She taught her asanas that help with the pain. After a month of lessons Anna was again able to walk or dance. Rachel drew on her own experience, having suffered from severe back pain for five years, and only yoga helped her.
