Living Pain Free - Post #2

Hammer Toe!  I don’t know if that is officially what happened, but last night as I was sitting on the couch, my second toe started leaning into and behind my big toe.  I watched in amazement.  My first inclination was to rub it and try to get it to go back to normal, but my Svaroopa® Yoga knowledge kicked in and I knew that it was not my foot causing the toe to cramp out of place, but rather tension in my spine.  Down on the floor, legs up on the couch, I did Alternate Leg Pose followed by Alternate Leg Diagonal.  Both are lower spinal release poses. After the second pose I watched my toe return to its normal position.  This is the power of Svaroopa® Yoga.  Tension in the spine radiates effects out to all parts of the body.  Svaroopa poses that release the spine, undo that tension and those far reaching effects.  Powerful and amazing and oh, so reliable.  You can experience an in depth Svaroopa® Yoga class November 9 through 13.  The Foundations of Svaroopa® Yoga class is for new yogis, experienced yogis and those who want to teach Svaroopa® Yoga.  It truly is a class for everyone.  The teachers are knowledgeable, well trained and compassionate.  The curriculum is thorough and you will be left with in depth written instructions for each pose.
