Question:
Choose a psychological disorder, clinical condition or common injury, cultivate research on your topic and write how yoga can help to alleviate this condition, disease or injury. Topic suggestions: stress, fibromyalgia, depression, asthma, diabetes, insomnia, multiple sclerosis, anxiety, rheumatoid arthritis…etc. Feel free to choose any of the topics listed or choose your own that you are interested in researching. Once you have chosen your topic, find research that first outlines the conditions of your topic and its effect on the mind and physical body. Include a brief summary of your condition, including symptoms, within your research that is no longer than one paragraph. Use the remainder of the paper to cite specific examples as to how yoga can help alleviate such symptoms, including the roles of all parts of a yoga practice (breathing techniques, postures, mind/body connection, rest, meditation…etc.). Identify at least 5 yoga asanas, 1 pranayama technique and 1 method of relaxation, meditation or visualization that can therapeutically serve your chosen topic.
