Kristin you are so welcomed. Keep exploring and trying new things. These practices all give such different effects and there is a prescription for every ailment in kundalini yoga. Blessings.
Robin good that you are doing this. It was my first experience of KY. 10 bodies for 40 days and it set me on this path....dizziness could be a part of the release that you are getting through this. Is it dizziness throughout or when you do Frogs for instance? does it last all day or is it very temporary? Dizziness is associated with finding balance within the system. Make sure to drink at least three liters of good water per day.
I've been doing awakening the 10 bodies. I love it, and really love practicing with you, but my back has been hurting. (the first two exercises are killers! ;))) I wonder if I should take it more slow. Also, sometimes I wonder, although I am strong and youthful, I am 65, and should I be treating my body differently, taking extra care not to cause injury. I think so and I do. I want to continue, but I need to address my back pain.
Oh my goodness, this was AMAZING!! I have never felt anything like this. I am trying not to beat myself up for not being able to do 26 froggies, lol. But it was wonderful.
Hi there Robin, I'm so sorry to hear about your back pain. Taking things slowly (or slower than we're used to) is in itself a practice, no? Do take the time you need to rest, and move at a pace that's nourishing for you :) Warmly, Ashley from Yoga Anytime
