Autoimmune Conditions & Yoga: Expert Insights with Dr. Nikki Tugnet

As yoga teachers, most of us will either have an autoimmune condition, or teach students who do. Yoga is uniquely suited to work alongside conventional medical treatment to help manage these disorders and address the symptoms that impact most on quality of life.

Today host Rachel speaks with Dr. Nikki Tugnet - a UK-trained physician, board-certified in Rheumatology and Internal Medicine, and Yoga Medicine® Therapeutic Specialist - about yoga and autoimmune conditions.

Listen to this episode as we unpack the common denominators of autoimmune conditions, the importance of normalizing prop use, and the power of taking it slow.

"If somebody has an autoimmune condition...although they typically will have inflammation, the cause of that is because their immune system is disregulated." - Dr. Nikki Tugnet.
