In the last two days we did mainly hip opening series with traction. Its aim is to create mobility but also the space in the hip joint, so that the nutrients can reach and repair the torn cartilage and replenish the sinovial fluid. The sequence of 6 exercises is the same as for the standard hip series, but the difference is that all of them are done by the wall where one leg is strapped to the wall which creates the traction.
With this series, Aadil helped many people who were about to have a hip replacement to avoid the surgery and be pain free in the hips. However, apart from doing the hip series with traction, one also has to take specific supplements for the nutrition of the hip joint. Aadil recommends an extensive list of products; if you need more information, please contact us.
There was also a talk on detoxification of the body. Aadil, as well as being one of the top yoga teachers in the world, is also an expert naturopath who puts a great importance on nutrition as a part of a whole well-being of a person.
In the body, there are 6 systems which are responsible for detoxification:
1. Bladder & Kidneys – urine
2. Colon -stool
3. Skin – sweat
4. Lungs -breath
5. Lymphatic System
6. Liver & Spleen
In order to help them function better, a good start would be to greatly reduce the consumption of the following:
C.A.T.S. (caffeine, alcohol, tobbaco, refined sugar), wheat, dairy, everything that is non-organic or artificial. (Addil recommends substituting wheat products with spelt).
Also, some of the ways to detoxify the body are:
1. Fasting one day of the week – drinking only water with lemon juice;
2. Cleaning out the colon with colonic irrigation – 4 times a year, during the change of the seasons;
3. Keeping the liver clean by drinking water with lemon juice and in the asana practice doing inversions, twist and backbends.
There are also a lot of products and supplements that were mentioned to help a particular organ to function better. The list is extensive; please contact us if you need any further info.
