A very long time between posts here on this blog. Tendonitis in my right elbow has almost totally curtailed my practice. I've had 2 cortisone shots in the last year (each one has lasted about 6 months) and have an appt w/ the Rheumatologist on Monday. Whatever course of action will dictate my yoga practice. Hopefully, I won't have to stop it totally but if there is surgery in my future I will surely be sidelined for a little while. I figure I can still teach, just not demonstrate.

I do have a few students who can be my examples so thats good. But it means I'll be picking up from nothing when I get back, at least in certain areas.

I haven't made up my mind about surgery (especially since it's not even been offered just talked about w/ the Rheumy) but even if there is no surgery I will be either immobilized for a time or be given guidelines along with more PT.

It's all up in the air and a good thing for me to begin once again, a strict meditation seat. I continue to meditate but often with asana to help get the flow going. Easy asana I assure you. No chaturanga, no full body weight on wrists.

It's springtime and I'm thinking I need to start walking.
