> I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling down. Remember what Buddha says, "You fall down 7 times and get up 8." Keep trying, and I know that you are working so hard in therapy too.

My favourite yoga pose is "Laughing Baby". Lie on your back, bend your knees, and reach for your big toes with both hands. :-)> I got hooked on yoga this year. I find that it has helped me in my therapy and I leave the classes feeling at peace with myself and my body. (And then 10 minutes later ....) What type of yoga do you practice? My studio does vinyassa (sp?) and a slow flow/healthy back classes.
My yoga teacher comes to my house twice a week to teach me. I cut back on all my extraneous expenses - like haircuts, electricity and groceries - to do this. She sees how I'm feeling on the day and we take it from there. Sometimes it's mostly meditating, sometimes it's mostly holding poses for extended lengths of time, sometimes it's more Pilates and we work on my "core" (ha ha ha I can tell you it takes a lot of work!)... mostly it's a mix of all these.
I don't know what flavour of yoga it is primarily, except for my kind of flavour!
