An interesting take on our past. I have recently embraced a saying:
“You don’t have to drag your past into your future”
And you don’t, but like many things, it is not B&W. Our past has many layers, and this article nicely unpacks some of those.

You don’t get free of your past by rejecting it, but by remembering it, at just the right time.

SIVANANDA YOGA RETREAT
Highlights from a five-day Yoga and Nature Retreat at Sivananda Ashram Yoga Camp in Val-Morin Quebec. A truly authentic, immersive and challenging experience that included twice daily:
• 2-hour yoga classes
• 90-minute Satsangs (silent meditation, chanting and discourses)
• Vegetarian meals
Nestled in the Laurentian Mountains, the autumn landscape was brilliant.

Back to Yoga after Hip Replacement Surgery 😊
I have a new right hip!
Today marks four weeks since my surgery, and I am almost back to normal. I have done a gentle sun salutation, held tree and other balance poses and done lots of gentle mat work. I look forward to easing back into classes with my fabulous supportive community next week. 💖
My Osteoarthritis progressed over recent years from “moderate degeneration” to “advanced osteoarthritis with complete joint space loss” and “severe bone-on-bone arthritis”. Some might say yoga caused or aggravated my arthritis, but many more would say yoga helped manage my arthritis. What I do know is that Yoga, which is a holistic lifestyle, contributed to a positive pre-operative assessment of “This lady is quite small and fit her BMI is 20”, and has definitely helped me recover well. Breathing, along with mind-body awareness and conditioning have all played a significant part.
A big THANK-YOU to my yoga community who surrounded me with all the care and support needed to proceed with the surgery, and then recover well from it. 🙏💖🙏
The attached photo is from Brian Gladnick MD’s website, but looks very similar to my personal X-ray. What an amazing feat performed through a 3.5” incision by Dr. Shawn Brian Garbedian and the great NYGH team! 🙏🤩🙏

Front to Back: The Simple Magic of Putting Your Head Down
Worth taking note of this from Barrie Risman, and giving it a try. I often suggest trying to position yourself so your forehead makes contact with something - your hands, a yoga block, blanket, surface of the floor, chair or table. Aside from reliving strain on your neck, this blog helps explain even greater benefits.

Whether I rest my head on a block in a standing forward fold, settle Child's Pose on floor, or simply lean forward at my desk, the gentle pressure to the forehead works quickly - almost magically - to create a sense of spaciousness that quiets agitation and bring near-instant calm.
