So after two classes of yoga, I was hooked. I still burst out into laughter, but that will never change. So here I am. This time I found even less.
I never went before because I felt like I could keep up with the instructor, my attention span was not long enough, and I didn't want to burst out into laughter at myself and mess up everyone else. I realized that by going now, I am so focused on getting into the poses and really trying that I am actually focused. A person with a spinal fusion, yoga will naturally be a little more difficult for me
(right now) and there are just certain ways that I will not physically be able to bend. But here is the thing, I have found some complicated poses that I know I would still be able to do, and those are just what I set out to do. I remember just after I got my surgery, I started looking for “support groups”. Just people out there to reassure me that I was not alone. I found some, but I wasn’t drawn to become active in any of them. Most that I found were for young kids who had gotten it done at a young age, parents of scolio warriors asking other parents of scolio warriors what to expect. Being new to yoga, I started searching for other yogis with fused spines. So this is the now. This is why we are here. I have decided to start that blog/forum/support group (I haven't quite figured out what to call it yet - but I am hoping it takes on a mind of its own). I am very open with some parts of my life in hopes that it will inspire someone, so why not this too. Join me on this journey.
