Knowing when to QUIT!
I am very proud of myself. I pulled a ligament last Saturday, after teaching my eighth yoga class of the week. It hurt something awful. I canceled or got a sub for every single class this week so I would heal quickly and properly. I was afraid if I went to class it would be too tempting to work out. Today is the first day I haven't felt any pain or twinges. I plan on being back fully recovered, bright and early on Monday! Part of good health is having the self awareness and control to know when your body needs a break and respecting and honoring it when it does. Nameste.

Good for you, Mesha! I know how hard it is to cancel or find subs. One of the principles of Yoga is to show compassion for yourself and others (sound familiar?) We would never expect a student to practice with injuries, yet we often push ourselves and don't take care of our own bodies. I hope you are all healed up and back on the mat! Om Shanti! Lana
