Yogatherapedias
A non-profit site giving evidence-based guidance
Conditions:
Find helpful poses and avoid harmful poses for 108 medical and orthopedic conditions.
Poses:
Learn which condition each pose benefits and conditions that contraindicate its practice.
This site is designed to
Specify beneficial yoga poses for 108 medical conditions.
Guide you away from poses your condition contraindicates
Help teachers design classes safe for everyone in them.
Starting with conditions: Click on the box headed “Condition,” select a condition, and then click on the minus sign just to the right of the condition to retract the list of conditions. Then just below, click on the green rectangle “Search” to see the poses that are best for that condition. Once you come to a pose, there’ll be a horizontal list at the bottom of the screen indicating other conditions for which that pose is helpful. You can click on the conditions to learn about that condition, You can also click on the pose itself to see more about it, such as contraindications, workarounds and a recommended way to do it.
When it comes to the workarounds for a pose, we must know what condition the workaround applies to. If you’re looking for a workaround for, e.g., Achilles Tendinitis, that will be different than the workaround for congestive heart failure. The list on the left, after you click on a pose, will therefore have the condition for which the workaround is helpful. If there are more than one condition requiring a workaround for that pose, they’ll be listed.
You’ll find a description of each medical condition, with references germane to using yoga to help with it, by clicking the horizontal box’s downward arrow.
Starting with poses: Click on the downward pointing arrow at the upper right for a description of the pose and guidance on doing the pose.
This is the beginning of a website we hope users will improve by adding to it and replacing text, references and pictures with better and more recent ones. To submit a suggestion, a new pose or condition, or criticism, please write MPMRfrontdesk@gmail.com.
This way the site to be increasingly useful over time.
