The Fundamentals of Meditation. Yoga while sick. Hi, I recently retired and am working part time and consequently, have doubled my exercise routine (2-3 hours a day) basically, my routine is: 4 hours of Yoga a week 10 miles of walking vigorously a week 10-12 miles swimming a week 2 spin classes a week Despite my doctor claiming I am the poster child of health, I've been sick for 5 weeks with a virus that ran rampant in my area (most everyone was sick for at least a month with this virus) I am finally recovered, and 2 weeks later, have come down with a ferocious cold.

I did yoga throughout the virus illness however, I just read that "doing Yoga classes when you are in any stage of dealing with a cold or flu will likely result in becoming more sick and being sick for a longer period of time. " The article went on to explain, however, I was especially struck with the paragraph: If you are full-out sick, many restorative poses should be avoided, especially postures placing the head below the level of the heart and lungs.
