silver lining
a long time ago, in a different life, i wrote a song about a girl named jenny. “jenny was a surfer with a wild streak, i was a cowboy on a losing week.” that was then and this is now, jenny is a hot yogini, in the heart of america, rockin’ my new pink sweat tank top. thanks for being my internet model jenny, you’re beautiful. please don’t hesitate to send a pic of you in your sweat tank top and please check out my new special.
day two without bikram yoga. my body feels weird not getting it’s daily sweat on. i took a walk this morning to stretch out my back. there was a light drizzle, it felt amazing.
you know, everything is connected to your back. on my walk, i noticed that if i raised my arm, it could send incredible pain to my lower back. i’ve got pain in my knee, it feels like my muscles are doing something weird, but it’s because of my back. when it’s really hurting, it’s curious to see how my posture reverts to the hunched in state. maybe, in the long run, this will be good for my overall alignment. i dunno, i’m looking for a silver lining. see you tomorrow ~m

Hey M- Thinking good healing thoughts for you. My running trainer used to say that injuries are the bodies way of telling us we need a break. So here’s to hoping that this time off the mat is brief and that you’re in tip top shape soon!

From your description of the injury and what was going on when it happened, it sounds like you may have a herniated disk. That is a classic “bent over and my back went out” kind of injury. You would be wise to see a doctor before you attempt any more yoga.

I’m so sorry to hear about your back! That’s terrible!

So bad that you’re still in pain.
Hope you’ll be back in the sweaty room soon!
