I was having a conversation with a friend that I have not talked to for some time. He reminded me the reason I began yoga, and how much it has helped me in my life. I usually don’t say to much about this, only because I know that there are many people that have had much more serious illnesses than I, and it might not seem like a huge feet that I have over-come. I guess I think of people like Helen Keller. She is some that I think of when I need a little inspiration.
So the moment began, when I was about 11 years old, I will always remember that moment, standing in the doctors office and this man stood over me and told me that if I did not have a surgery to put a steel rod in my back, I would not be able to stand up straight and support my body after the age of 30, I could not do any sport activities or ever lift anything over 15 pounds, and having children would also be out of the question. So we left that office and I think my mom did not know what to say or do. She said the surgery was out of the question. But decide to follow all of the other recommendation’s. So I sat on the side lines, and never did any physical activities. I lived with pain off and on for years, but the think about that is I never knew when my back would go out and be in pain and in bed or for how long.
