To masbauju on yoga and pain

I've been thinking about you...Last week my hatha yoga teacher talked

about pain. He started his yoga practice as a burn patient; someone

recommended he try yoga to restore some of his movement and

flexibility. He says he knows about pain...that because of his

background, over the years he has worked with people to use yogic

techniques for pain management. He said one of his biggest successes

was working with his mother to help her with unmanageable pain from

shingles. (He says it's the only time he ever got to tell his mother

what to do :-)I also did a little poking around on the 'net and found

a paper for you;

Dear masbauju ~ I can't find the words to tell you what this means to

me. I have not had as much pain this week, and perhaps it is because

of the thoughts and prayers going out for me. I have thought of yoga,

for a variety of reasons, including pain management. One yoga teacher

I checked into does not work with differently abled people; I have

two more to check out. Perhaps I can persuade one to do private

lessons. When I lived back in the DC area, it was easier to find

teachers who worked with people who had different kinds of physical

problems. I do think this would help me, so I thank you for the extra

little push. I will check out the other teachers this week. : )

And thank you to for the lead to the articles. Bless you. Jai Maa ~
