Certified Yoga Nurse
Nurses have always been known as being incredibly passionate and caring people
, always going out of their way to help others. Well these days, some nurses are literally bending over backward to help their patients. Medical Yoga is a burgeoning field that many people are taking advantage of. Not only can you practice yoga as a nurse, teach medical yoga as a yogi, but now there is something called a certified Yoga Nurse, giving you the best of both worlds.
The healthcare benefits of yoga have long been known and are commonly used in Eastern medicine. In America, yoga has become immensely more popular in the last decade and can be found in practically every city. Many different types of yoga can be used for healing, but the most popular in the healthcare industry is medical yoga. Medical yoga is a fusion of modern science of the body and classic hatha yoga. With this particular treatment, there is usually a medical diagnosis, derived from X-rays, blood tests, scans, ultrasounds and other tests to assess a patients full body and try to pinpoint the real issue. Once a problem has been pinpointed, the patient will be given yoga asanas designed to help influence posture and bodily functions. These poses are usually very simple and not uncomfortable, accessible to even the most athletic or flexible of people. Often they are accompanied by equipment to make the pose more easily achievable things like yoga benches and yoga belts. This kind of yoga is used to treat all kinds of ailments, from shoulder issues to asthma, diabetes to osteoarthritis.
One of the most common ailments treated with medical yoga is lumbar spondylitis, or chronic lower back pain. Research has shown that people who participated in a yoga study for 6 months had significantly less pain and increased movement after practicing a few times a week. Similar studies have also shown that a regular yoga practice can lead to less anxiety and stress, lower levels of depression and insomnia, and reduced heart rate and blood pressure; not to mention the obvious results of better strength and flexibility.
These days its not just patients benefitting from practicing yoga. Nurses are now being pinpointed as a demographic that needs drastic help in lowering job stress and anxiety. Mini yoga plans are being presented to nurses as a way to handle stress while on the job. Consider taking two minutes to find a hallway, close your eyes, and take a couple of relaxing deep breaths. Take a second and grab onto the back of a chair and do a standing down dog to feel immediate release though your shoulders, neck and back. Practicing yoga regularly before a shift has helped nurses to maintain feelings of calm for longer periods and though more trying situations.
As a nurse, you can also integrate yoga into your work. Becoming a certified Yoga Nurse is easier than it might sound. Registered nurses only need to take a 2-5 day training course and no previous yoga experience is required. The founder of Yoga Nurse, Annette Tersigni, trained with the best of the best in the 1990s people like Deepok Chopra and David Simon Mds. She created Yoga Nurse after realizing that by being an RN and a certified medical yoga teacher at the same time, she could help even more people. Bringing wisdom of the past to the medicine of today creates a balance that everyone is searching for within their bodies.
