Baggage Check: Link Between Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Exposure to a Virus Grows

Baggage Check: Link Between Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Exposure to a Virus Grows

After years of research, the link between Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and exposure to a virus may finally be solidifying. A certain retrovirus appears to be present in extremely large numbers of people diagnosed with CFS, compared with control groups. While this does not mean that the virus actually causes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, finding a correlation is a significant step forward.

The media coverage and commentary about these findings, however, reveals a prevalent misconception about the nature of illness in general. “It’s just psychological,” many people have complained, dismissing the condition altogether. “Maybe these findings will finally show doctors that it’s not psychological at all!” others have excitedly commented, eager to finally get validation of their symptoms.

But both of these viewpoints miss the big picture. every illness that involves changes in mental functioning, emotion or behavior by definition does have a psychological component — and that’s pretty much everything.

That doesn’t mean a disease is fake or made-up; it’s merely an acknowledgement that our brains are pretty much where the action is. most obviously, they are part of our bodies: If you break your arm, you feel that pain via your brain.

I understand that advocates for those with CFS are simply trying to emphasize that the syndrome’s sufferers aren’t faking it. But by equating anything “psychological” with being “made-up,” they’re doing a disservice to all of those who suffer from any sort of psychological disorder — like depression or anxiety.

Workout of the Week: Vinyasa Flow, Level 2

Workout of the week: Vinyasa Flow, Level 2

Tadasana Mountain Yoga, 20 Lakeview Dr. suite 110, Nederland, 303-258-YOGA, tadasanamountainyoga.com/

Instructor: Carly Rixham, of Coal Creek Canyon, has been teaching yoga for 4 years. she has studied yoga at Svasta Yoga in Chennai, India, the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in Mysore, India, and is certified as a yoga instructor through CorePower Yoga.

What is the workout? Just over an hour of yoga with a friendly atmosphere and some life lessons. This class incorporates some elements of bikram yoga and some elements of power yoga but Rixham rejects either of these labels, saying the class is an, “Americanized Ashtanga yoga model, which follows an eight-fold path to self realization, including breathwork, movement and meditation.”

What’s different: The yoga studio is shaped like a rectangle rather than a square and there is only enough room for two long rows of people. however, there are no mirrors in the room so rather than facing one direction, everyone stands with their backs to the wall closest to them so the two rows face each other. This can be confusing when the person across from you is reaching to your left, and you are reaching right.

The class also features chanting, which according to Rixham is, “the fast path to opening inner awareness.”

Inspiration for class: Tadasana Mountain Yoga is the only yoga studio in Nederland and it was opened last March as a way to bring the benefits of yoga to the community, says studio owner Diana Underhill.

What does it cost? An annual membership to Tadasana Mountain Yoga is $960 a year and a monthly membership is $120. The studio also offers the option of membership auto-renewal which drops the monthly price to $89. Punch cards are available for either 5 or 10 classes, and a single drop-in class is $14. Discounted senior and student rates are also offered.

Who does it? This class attracts almost completely Nederland-area residents, both beginners and advanced students. my class was almost all women, ranging in age from 20s to 40s.

When: Saturday mornings at 9 and Wednesday evenings at 6. Additional classes are offered everyday, throughout the day. The full schedule can be found at tadasanamountainyoga.com.

Level: 5-7. This is a flow class so it requires a certain amount of muscular endurance to keep up, but in general the poses and pace are accessible and can be modified depending on your ability.

Format: The class begins with a story. Rixham explains that by incorporating a theme into the class, people will learn something they can apply to their daily lives.

“When we do a challenging posture we are trying to relax and breathe,” says Rixham. “When we are in a challenging, stressful time, like stuck in traffic or at a long bank line, we can remember to just relax and breathe.”

After the story, the class proceeds in flowing between yoga postures, complete with a time for relaxation at the end while in the shavasana pose.

Equipment: Mats, blocks, blankets and straps, all provided.

What to wear: Comfortable yoga clothes, and bring a water bottle. The class isn’t heated for hot yoga but the studio is warm.

Muscles worked: This class was a full-body workout that emphasized core strength and balance.

One new move: Forearm stand. Kneel with your knees about 2 feet from the wall you’re facing. using a block placed lengthwise against the wall, place your hands and forearms on the ground with your fingers facing the wall and your thumbs facing each other, pinning the block against the wall with your hands. Slowly kick up your legs, keeping your forearms firmly planted on the ground. Use the wall to stabilize your legs before testing your ability to balance without the help of the wall.

What I loved: Rixham incorporated a karate kick into a traditional yoga pose, which received many laughs from the class. it was playful and made me feel like the Karate Kid. I also liked the calming, lavender infused aromatherapy mist that Rixham sprayed around the room during the final relaxation.

What I didn’t like: Facing each other was definitely new to me, but I didn’t necessarily dislike it. According to Rixham, arranging the studio so that people are forced to face each other, rather than a wall or mirror, helps build community.

How I felt after the class: I felt mentally calm but physically energized and ready to take on the day.

How I felt later: my upper back was slightly sore the following day but other than that I felt ready to do some more downward facing dog.

What Would a Yoga Class Be Like?

What would a yoga class be like?

I'm 16, and I wanna start some sort of body awareness fitness class, like yoga or something. I ride horses competitively, so that really has me tone, but I'd really like to be even stronger, and aware of my body's movement, if you know what I mean.
So I'm thinking yoga. I'd probably take it here
pafitnessshrewsbury.com/fitne…

This is the description
"Learn Yoga asana in the Iyengar style. with an emphasis on precise alignment and the use of Yoga props, you will be taught how to get into and out of the poses safely and accurately. Improve physical health while simultaneously teaching the mind to be calm and focused. please bring a Yoga sticky mat to class, Yoga props such as blocks and straps are encouraged!"

What is Iyengar style? and yoga asana? Is it probably gonna be a bunch of older people or younger adults?
Also, I'm soo not flexible. Riding my whole life has made all my muscles super tight. will that be a major problem?

Yoga emphasizes alot on slow controlled movements, breathing, and flexibilty. I don't know alot about different types of yoga but if it is something new I would recommend a beginners class. If you are just curious you can explore videos of yoga poses on youtube.

How Much Weight Will U Lose Doing Hot Yoga Twice a Week?

How much weight will u lose doing hot yoga twice a week?

My hot yoga is 90 min @ 108 degrees. I'm 5'6 131 pounds. I gained some winter weight and want to get back to 120. I eat healthy but wanted to know what to expect as far as weight loss per week by doing the class twice a week. I only need to know about the class and what others have experienced or lost per week. Today was my first class. I felt great all day.. Thanks

There are truly so many different nutritional products on the market today touting “miracles and fast weight loss”, I can understand why so many people are confused and have wasted tons of money on worthless products and supplements.

I need to know what it took to have that experience, and how you finally obtained it. what in your life has changed? How long did you have to use kriya and meditate before it happened for you?

Wow! I am sure if one has reached this height of both spirituality and wisdom, you would not be seeking them you would surely know they are close by, you have simply over looked!
"to know- is to know not."
