ashtanga yoga lower back pain

[Guest guest]

Hi Sandra,

I know you possibly have heard it all before, and I guess it is frustrating

however, You are doing your Ashtanga practise babe!.

Focus on being in the present moment and be happy with what you can do now, not

what you could do in the past or hope to do in the future. The befit of injuries

is that it brings incredible awareness into that area and your practise in

general. Embrace this opportunity to discover what other aspects of your

practise you can develop on a deeper level other that just the physical aspects.

Once you let go of where your are going and and feel where you are now, trust me

, your body will open up once more.

I am recovering from surgery (in december 2005) for removal of fibroids (10) and

cervical

cysts (the use of progesterone cream on my arms and dhea capsules resolved those

in 2

months, but I had those for one and 1/2 years, and lost my entire practice of

first and

second series). I am attempting to return to first series practice, but have

difficulty with

lower back pain - my lumbar and sacrum locks up.

I am continuing with physical therapy, acupuncture, meditation, pranayama, added

Reiki,

Qi Gong, I can do Surya Namaskar and standing postures and the 3 final seated

postures

and take an occasional Bikram class (heavily modified), but I would really

prefer to get my

Ashtanga practice back before I hit 50 (I'm 47). Any ideas? This is driving me

bonkers....
