My husband is a physical therapist who specializes in the spine. He thought your story was awe inspiring and agrees to always listen and respect the "inner" voice, teacher or whatever one wishes to name that instinctual guide. I always feel so behind in my yoga practice. I'm an attorney, a desk job mostly, and at age 41, much stiffer and out of shape than I should be. But, yoga, I believe has saved my body and spirit. I would love to take my practice to a new level. Like going to a hot studio or maybe outdoor/hiking with yoga. My practice is pretty mundane. Occassionally, I'll attempt a backbend, and am successful. But still, I know that I should probably not be pursuing the posture for many reasons i.e. not warmed up fully or too advanced. It's that whole competitive drive thing! But I will now take heed to your words. Thank you for your awe-inspiring story. Namaste~ Liz Hallowell, Maine What a wonderful, wonderful story.
