Got an Injury?

Learning the art of self care and self knowledge through yoga. Who should you listen to when you have an injury? Ultimately, you are in charge of your own care.

Got An Injury?

Cranky knee or wrist? Weak core or low back? Neck stiffness? Tight hamstrings or frozen shoulder? Headaches, sore back, bum ankle, carpel tunnel, sciatica, hip pain, arthritis, extra weight?


Who do you listen to? Doctor? Physical Therapist? Chiropractor? Yoga Instructor?
These days we are in charge of our own care. We are in charge of finding the right help. It can be very confusing. What if the pain does not go away no matter what we do? How do we live with it and still thrive?

I cannot speak for all yoga teachers. But here is the general philosophy: In yoga we are here to learn about our own bodies. We are here to learn what makes us feel better and what makes us feel worse. We are here to pay attention. The practice of yoga is to help you learn to be your own teacher. Your instructor is there to help you learn more about yourself and how to care for yourself in order to do that.


Let’s get the back strong, let’s get more movement in the hips, let’s strengthen the hips and knees to carry us forward in our old age. Let’s get to know our backs and how to manage them so we can be happy everyday.
