Walking and yoga: video short ~~ This video was made a few years ago. it shows how I incorporate yoga into every moment of my life. sometimes it's subtle and sometimes not. Yoga and movement can morph from distinctly hatha yoga flows. They might become more like Qigong. Later, they can even move into ecstatic dance. I use walls and furniture and door frames and trees and anything around me as props for modifications as necessary. I have not been fit nor do I look like a conventional yogi. My body is my only teacher now. Yoga seems to be in my DNA. It is, in my mind, a science of the body. Movement keeps my body going as I continue to find what healing looks like in this body.

Yoga is for everyone and every body type

I was happy to see this article I'm sharing below. Yoga is for everyone and all body types. Granted not all yoga studios understand this reality and some are not very comfortable for people who don't feel they fit into the scene. I recommend finding somewhere you feel safe to practice. If you can't find a class YouTube is a great teacher. I learned yoga at home by necessity because I couldn't leave the house. Just listen to your body and never do anything that doesn't feel comfortable. It's really not that complicated. … [click on title to read and view more]

Brief and lovely gentle yoga (good for the challenged nervous system too)

I found the below gentle yoga for the morning. It's also good for those of us with seriously challenged nervous systems at any time of the day. Those of us with protracted withdrawal syndrome need to be gentle and learn to listen to our bodies very carefully as we heal.

Yoga back bends: feels yummy on the autonomic nervous system

I like to help people see how easy yoga can be. You can start with something as simple as this and see where it takes you. Being a yogi is about listening to your body and learning from it and it really doesn't matter if you can do really complicated poses or not. Start simple and see what happens. Back bends continue to be very helpful to me …
