When I feel something coming on, I usually add some extra stuff to my neti pot and go on a three-day round of ColdFX. If my energy levels are good for it, I'll keep doing my practice.<br /><br />I have this theory that heating the body can kill a cold (I'm not sure if this has any basis in fact, though). Back when I was a runner, I would go running to get my body heat up. Astanga does the same thing.Kaivalyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08706519542278960007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796354866116498246.post-65243222028187005652009-11-23T20:28:04.029-08:002009-11-23T20:28:04.029-08:00How do you feel about working through the beginnin...How do you feel about working through the beginnings of a cold/illness? Do you rest your body then? Just curious...<br /><br /> I sometimes feel that practicing even on days that I don't quite feel well boosts my immune system. The ujjayi breathing, sweating and build up of prana help ward off some of my illnesses. Maybe I just psych myself out.

Last time I had something like this, massage helped a bit, but rest was the best remedy.<br /><br />@annabella<br />I've heard that too and sometimes it does make sense to work through the injury. As I'm getting older though*gulp* I'm finding that I need to back off in order for injuries to heal properly.Kaivalyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08706519542278960007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796354866116498246.post-73828133711831414882009-11-20T17:36:45.386-08:002009-11-20T17:36:45.386-08:00The party does sound fun.

When I was doing ashtanga, teachers would always tell me to keep practicing through injuries, and sometimes I see the value in that, but not in a situation like the one you have. <br /><br />I'm glad you're doing the restoratives - they sound yummy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796354866116498246.post-65543643719846615632009-11-20T17:04:59.781-08:002009-11-20T17:04:59.781-08:00Ouch!
