HEALING BENEFITS OF WATER YOGA
The following information comes from the book Water Yoga, by Jill Coleman
Virtually weightless, your muscles and bones do not have to support your body in water as they would on land. This means you can relax in a way that is impossible on land where muscles must be in a constant state of tension or tone. In water you can identify, observe and attend to specific muscles w/o competition from the work of other muscles. You can hold poses longer.
Vertebrae can separate themselves without gravitational pull for relief from back problems.
Other joints can separate no longer loaded by weight of the body.
Decreased pain - Water permits gentle stretching in all three dimensions, ideal for postural problems.
Hydrostatic Pressure – water keeps the body in whatever position you assume. Also just being in water exerts pressure that slightly compresses the body benefiting heart rate, breathing and circulation of blood and lymph.
Water offers minimal but constant resistance to movement in all directions means a gentle push is enough to move the body and there is very little risk of straining a muscle. It is excellent for rehabilitation.
Warmth increases flexibility and blood flow, while muscle pain and guarding of painful muscles is significantly decreased. Studies confirm muscles tend to soften, relax and lengthen in warm water therefore flexibility is shown to come more easily. Also water has a calming, nurturing emotional effect. The medicinal effects of warm water are well known in therapeutic baths.
