    I am wondering whether it’s a good idea to practice with a cold. I have had really bad congestion (nose & chest) the last 10 days & have tried to continue practicing, but am not sure it’s helping with my recovery. Any thoughts ? I read in the Bikram Beginning Book that only the standing series was appropriate during a cold, but I can’t leave the class half way. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Do the standing series at home. 1 set or 2 sets (i do 1 set).

    It’s not fair to the others to be in a studio with a cold and transmit to them.

    Hi Stefan

    You are absolutely right! Staying home if you are infective is the proper thing to do.

    We actually had a few other posts here, but they got lost in the ‘server meltdown’ last week.
    Hopefully those others will re-post! :cheese:

    Generally we spoke about those who had the congestion that occurs after the cold is really over. How to take care of hydration and electrolytes. I mentioned that I have noticed on the rare occasion that I get a cold that on 2 occasions I have noticed that Standing Separate Leg Stretching actually seemed to be the turning point for me where my head seemed to clear.

    Thanks again.

    Namaste

    The standing series and TM-Sidhis have stopped many of my colds right before they brke out.

    and, a special ayurvedic mix of water, lemon, salt, black pepper.

    and a teaspoon of hone with a picnh of cinnamon.

    Cold defense herbal compound by Maharishi Ayurveda is also very effective.

    but, the standing series makes wonders!
