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.

irises come play

Our world has been in crisis for a long time. Some people are only now just waking up to it. If we've not been sleeping then we just keep on doing the same thing. Life is change. *** The hardest evolutionary work on the planet is being done by the disenfranchised, the oppressed, those in poverty, the unhoused, those labeled mentally ill, those considered addicts etc. The sensitive are the last.

Yoga for fear/anxiety

As our bodies heals from the iatrogenic injury caused by psychiatric drugs, the process of healing the autonomic nervous system demands the continual working with fear in the body. These drugs create post traumatic stress and exacerbate that which was already in our bodies.
Yoga is often helpful in the process of healing this insult to our nervous system.
Yoga is wonderful for training us to be with all of the sometimes uncomfortable sensations in our body whether we’ve been injured or not.

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.

The dark side of yoga…

Yoga has been one of my foundational practices as I recover from a gravely disabling and long-term chronic illness. My healing protocols have been many and diverse and yoga is an absolutely critical part of it.

The dark side of yoga really boils down to failing to listen to our body/mind/spirit needs. Injuries can happen. There is a learning curve involved when one is new at this. Be kind and gentle with yourself as you learn. … [click on title for the rest of the post]
