RE: ashtanga yoga Pinched cervical nerve for second time

[Guest guest]

Hola Óscar

 

I Have not idea about mechanics of your injure, but I know one thing. Now

you will be more sensitive, now you will be more receptive and less active.

Now you will love more depply the practice and you will get away from your

practice things that can be dangerous. I don´t want to say that injures are

necesary to achieve wisdom, but can be a result of our love for practice.

Love can be learned too. It´s what I know.

 

Personally I use all that I need: blankets, half vinyasas, half postures and

so. Godfrey Devereux developed a lot of injures because his exagerated

practice (6 hours with vinyasas or so) and, of course, he is now a excellent

yoga teacher (and very clear, he lives in the island of Lanzarote actually).

I reccomend you his book Yoga Dinámico, in Spanish by editorial Tutor.

 

I hope you find soon what you need to heal yourself.
