Guest guest Posted June 5, 2001 Report Share Posted June 5, 2001 Malsag ---<br><br>Hey, thanks for asking. Well, those nagging sensations in my hands and ultimately down my whole body were from a ruptured disk in my neck. I had an MRI which should a complete rupture of the disk between c5 and c6. I needed immediate surgery as it was causing endema of my spinal cord, hence the numbness in my abdomen and legs.<br><br>I had a fusion done a week before Christmas and was told not to do any yoga until June. It was hard as I was just coming off of a great summer studying with guruji in France and California. I was in my best ashtangi form. But that is ok. I will slowly get back into it starting with an iyengar practice and then working my way back into the first series.<br><br>Just one of those 'huge' setbacks that help me practice nonattachment and non-desire that are so important to the practice of yoga.<br><br>Yeshe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
