My gentle slide back into practise
has had rather quick results
as far as my muscles are concerned
The pigeon pose/kapotasana, that I added last night
hit that piriformis just right
and I got some relief from my aching leg and hip
So feeling a bit cocky this morning
I added the tree pose/vrikshaasana
As expected I found that my right side is much stronger than my left
(as it is in my brain)
struggle
struggle
I think this is enough adding of poses
now to continue to show up
do
breathe
find balance
for my aching heart
Awesome! Go go go...

It's inspiring to read about your progress. Don't know if it will make me move at this point. But it is nice to watch your fruitful steps.

Sounds as if this is good for what ails you . . .
ReplyDeleteah Vicki thank you
DeleteI hope so

I love the tree pose, Suz. I let the roots dig down and stretch up and feel, well sort of like a tree, gracious and braving the elements. Keep at it, it does help. Now I just have to follow my own advice.
ReplyDeleteah but I have to reagain my very excellent balance
Deletethat I have let go of
It will return....and I too love thinking of roots and branches and surviving...like an old prairie burr oak
go ahead and burn me....I was meant to survive
APPLAUSE!!!!!!!

Beautiful, organic poetry. You write very well. Enjoyed the yoga poem and it spoke volumes to me about our aching bodies and how we persevere to get stronger. Thank you!
