- Another Karen Beth! You are the SECOND Karen Beth I've met in the past month! Can you believe it? I've never met another in all of my life and, all of a sudden, two others in a month! Amazing! Thank you for accepting the friend request and for leaving a comment. Namaste.

Sisina said… - Hi, and thanks for the comment!
I've felt odd sometimes too, having the opposite flexibility issues of most, but I've also had really good luck with understanding teachers. One of them managed to explain it in such a way that management just sort of fell together in my head - "Muscle containment and boundaries". I use the physical practice of yoga to build muscle strength, which acts to hold my joints in place, like an internal brace. Really consciously engaging the muscles used in whatever asana is super important for us, and boundaries are huge, but much harder to verbalize - going into poses with a very present mind, constantly checking in with ones own sense of safety - sometimes it can get frustrating - I still can't do a full kapotasana, because my joints 'panic', if that makes any sense! The big thing I find helping me, that I just learned over this past month has been a sort of full-body engagement, my entire muscle system alive and active - it seems to help keep things from slipping out of place.
It's so mice to find someone with a similar issue to talk to!

Jan 7 & 8 - Day 7 & 8

Jan 6 - Day 6 - Twist and Release!
I assisted at a workshop YogaLaura lead on New Year's Day. One section was about twisting to help you release whatever you maybe holding on to that doesn't serve you anymore. Well, I have been twisting everyday with the intention of letting go - letting go of whatever came up. It worked! I released something I have been holding on to for almost 20 years. Amazin… Continue
