You're right ~ yoga is everywhere and taking the time to calm myself and find peace is essential to help me work through the pain. I've been trying some breathing techniques and am going to try some restorative and meditative yoga at home. I'll keep you posted on how things are going. Namaste. Francesca Hi Paula,

Thanks so much for your encouraging words and for your great suggestions. You’re right ~ yoga is everywhere and taking the time to calm myself and find peace is essential to help me work through the pain.

I’ve been trying some breathing techniques and am going to try some restorative and meditative yoga at home. I’ll keep you posted on how things are going.

Namaste.
Francesca

In fact, I taught an impromptu class for some fellow travellers I had met along the way. Using images and words to describe the motions I couldn't do - the group loved it - for many it was their first class and they found it profoundly peaceful...yoga is everywhere, no matter our pain or discomfort. They can actually be incredible teachers of learning to explore exactly where you're at. Take the time to be at peace with yourself (especially while your husband does the housework!) and try a very gentle, restorative, and meditative practice at home. Namaste.
