Trust in the universe.  When circumstance demands a specific response, take notice,  there are lessons requesting your attention.

Asana Practice: My wrist is quite injured, but rather than fret, I’m following my body’s lead and learning new ways to sequence a class.

Specifically, I’m avoiding all upward and downward dogs and creating new vinyasa sequences.  Camel pose or ustrasana, is a great go-to backbend, and standing forward fold replaces downward dog.

Standing split is a great transition between forward fold and standing poses such as lunge and the warrior poses.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Surrendering to my body’s limitations, with a positive attitude, allowed me to approach my session with creativity.  In turn I designed a powerful hamstring opening sequence that allows someone with a wrist or shoulder injury to get a great workout.

Lesson Learned: Take life in stride and you may just learn something new.
