My life seemed pleasant, quiet & ordinary but over the last 10 years all hell broke loose. My quiet, stable life disintegrated as one challenging event followed after another.
These extraordinary situations include the car crash that happened on my daughter’s 18th Birthday. She broke her neck. (just in case you’re wondering, she is absolutely fine now - a testament to our NHS & to her strong lovely bones!) Then, there was my Father’s suicide, a week after his wife had died, my Mother’s protracted illness & death, my half-brother’s terminal illness, marital problems, my husband’s bike crash & my son went missing somewhere in Europe for weeks (but has, fortunately, now been located)
These situations have given me too many opportunities to test out the power of yoga. I still marvel at how effective these strategies have been & how, as far as I know, I have not yet lost my mind!
So, over the next few months we will explore how yoga can be used to help manage extraordinary situations. Our tool kit will simply be our body, mind & breath. And, our yoga mat or space will be our playground or laboratory, where our adventure will take place.
