Question 6. Can diabetics be cured with yoga?  - Anil Kayal

Please refer to Question 1.

Question 7. I have learnt yoga from various institutions (basic level) leading to a haphazard practice as of now. What do you suggest I do?  - Dhruv Parekh

Practise the asanas systematically.

Question 8. What pranayamas should be done in winter season and how many rounds of each and in what sequence?  - Ankur Bhatia

In winter, you may continue with your normal schedule of pranayamas. Best for generating heat in the body are Kapalabhati (or Bhastrika) -- both are stimulating.  Ujjayi is also a heating pranayama as is Brahmari, though both are calming. About the rounds, that may not and should not be generalised. It is a matter of growth, that may be decided only by a teacher and the regularity of your practice.  The order would be Kapalabhati (or Bhastrika), ujjayi and then brahmari.

Question 9. What is the best asanam for neuro deafness?   - Sachin Agarwal

According to the Bihar School  of Yoga's book Asana Pranayama Mudra Bandha, the practices for deafness (I would not know if that would be different from neuro deafness) are as follows: Simhasana, inverted poses, bharamari pranayama, and neti for kriya. However if there is discharge or inflammation, you may not practice any of this.

Question 10. Are there specific asanas, mudras that improve rhumetoid arthritis /bone loss?   - Geetika Baruah

The first set to get yourself in order would be the set of pawan muktasana series. These are gentle. They may also be learned in a phased manner. For the complete set, look to the Bihar School of Yoga's Asana Pranayama Mudra Bandha. (all the three sets of pawan muktasana), all pranayamas, and relaxation like yoga nidra are best.
