UPSTAIRS IN THE BARN --- RETURNING TO THE BREATH

It has been a while since I devoted myself to daily practice.   ... AND LONGER since I posted anything in this Blog ... But ... in January, I experienced a shoulder problem that kept me from lifting my arm.   I couldn't pull my seat belt over or even put my hair up in a pony tail ... It was painful and frustrating.   My 55-year-old body was feeling the pain ...

Unable to find solutions to the problem through traditional medicine, by the end of April 2017, I had had enough ... and so I thought, "What the hell?"  and returned to a committed practice of gentle yoga six days a week.

It is now mid-July and I am almost at full capacity ... The problem WASN'T MY SHOULDER ... the problem was in the stability of my hips.... and it has been YOGA that has returned me to my life.

It has saved my life.

It wasn't easy AT ALL ... in fact, at times, extremely painful.  But my body has a mind all its own and told me when the pain I felt was GOOD and when it wasn't.  I listened.   I listened through a gentle practice ... and trusted my body.

I am SO GRATEFUL for YOGA and am committing myself to helping others this fall as I return to teaching.   I invite anyone in the Spanaway, Elk Plain and Parkland area of Washington State to join me UPSTAIRS in the BARN.   It will be a warm --and not HOT--room.  Bring your yoga mat, props if you like and water bottle.
