I was sidelined with a cold for a few days. :( feeling better and wanted to get back to the practice as to not loose momentum, but the instrument is in healing mode and the practice was rough.... does a little yoga help with healing the cold virus or is rest the better choice?
Maria, most likely Robert will have something to say about this. When I am beginning a sickness, I find that turning inward is the best choice, but there is a point where one can take advantage of all the "healing juju" to warm the body and "blow it out." Listen to your inner knowing. xok
Maria, I agree with Kira, turning inward as she says is so nice! I recently had the flu/cold for about a week. What felt best for me was to completely surrender to rest, sleep, warm liquids, light foods and some good shows:) It's difficult for me to completely let go of all responsibilities and to do's, but encouraged myself to do just that! Slowly around midweek, I began to roll out the mat and begin to move gently into a practice, slowly building day by day back into my regular movement regime. I'd say it's best to really listen and pay attention to your body, as I'm sure you do, the body has all the answers:)
Hi Robert! I LOVE practicing w you! I think you are a terrific teacher. I keep having to restart my challenge. Now I am in VAIL for the week and want to be doing more restorative yoga. So... Going to pick a new start date... Again! Hope that is ok!
Jenn, you can start and restart all you want I believe:) Life and travel and what not can get in the way and it sounds like you know what your body needs with the skiing you're doing! I was away for a bit unable to connect with this comment, hope you get it and are back at it!
