A few times, I've become tearful during Savasana. I think the stillness gets us in touch with whatever emotions we are avoiding by keeping so busy all the time.

I just discovered that there's a class for people like me called Chair Yoga for people with impairments. I'm going to check it out in April. It's free and it uses a chair for balance and sitting. So glad you're liking it thus far. Hope you stick with it.

It takes that concentration that I can't seem to get a hold of. <br />I am not able to sit and just relax most days.

I don't feel peaceful that is for sure. So maybe we should start our own group.

Unfortunately, too many people aren't willing to change, but instead, try to counteract it with drugs. I think yoga is probably a good idea to calm one down, but also good stretching for the body. It also helps to realize that we can't control the universe, no matter how much we try, and that we're not indispensable.

I can't get up off the floor, once I'm down, because kneeling causes extreme pain. I'm happy you have found yoga, though!!Terri Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15333024343069943295noreply@blogger.com
