Yoga & Adversity
However, it was in dealing with the shock of my daughter’s bone cancer diagnosis (she was just 7), and the subsequent gruelling surgeries, that some of the most profound benefits of my sustained yoga practice became apparent, helping me to manage my health, mental and emotional state and be strong for my daughter through the hard times. A Continuing Journey As I get older, it is now about keeping my body strong and joints flexible at a time when my body is beginning to resist! At this stage of life, the phrase 'use it or lose it' has never been more apt. It is also about mental resilience and well being. At a time of life when hormonal changes can wreak havoc, yoga can help provide ease and stability in both body and mind! |
