QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q How did you learn about The Yoga
Institute? A I heard about The Yoga Institute
from my husband who used to visit the place
regularly.
Q State your present age, profession, and
ailment? A Homemaker with two kids and heart
blockages and stress. Since 2001 major
responsibility was taking care of ailing husband
due to his health complications. My ailment
started in 2011 ECG done indicated that only 30
percent of my heart was working due to blockages.
I was advised by the attending doctor and
renowned cardiologist to go in for heart surgery.
I was reluctant and determined to set things
right by modifying lifestyle, Yoga exercise and
dietary changes.

Q Family history of heart disease, if any,
please share the particulars? A Two elder
brothers suffering from heart blockage disorder,
have had a history of heart blockages and
underwent surgery too. One at the age of 52 was
diagnosed with 100 blockage and the other at the
age of 48 was diagnosed with 70 blockage.
Q What does your latest report suggest? A To
sum up, ECG done in December 2016 indicated
normal functioning of left ventricle.  I do not
understand all the technical details, but Doctors
are impressed by my heart function, (considering
my age and other factors.) From 30 functioning
its up to almost normal at 50 without any
surgery. (And 60 is the ideal number I have been
informed but considering my hereditary factor
progress is excellent doctors tell me). Of
course, medications prescribed are taken
regularly, but Yoga has been my game changer for
holistic health.

Q How have you benefited from special Yoga class
for women? A Yoga teachers were caring and
attentive. They gave good direction regarding
modifying the diet plan and simplifying Yoga
asanas as per my condition. I was regular and
practiced it daily. Daily walk at my pace and
food restriction helped me a lot. AVAV (Ahar,
Vihar, Achar and Vichar) four fundamentals help
to lay the foundation and my symptoms improved
immensely.
Smt. Hansajis practical tips came in very handy,
and I still follow them every day. For example-
walking is the best and gentle exercise. Then eat
everything in moderation (I follow a sattvic diet
and eat everything but within limits). She
emphasised on routines and rest I do all the
housework within my capacity followed by proper
rest. I take home tuitions for small kids as
well. Till date, I attend the yoga class without
fail (Unless some major requirement at home since
my husbands health is one of the major concerns
at the moment.) But, I enjoy the serenity and
peace this wonderful institute has to offer.
