Bill’s Pretty Good Yoga For Aches, Pains & Worries 4-Week Series | Hybrid
with Bill Miller

Many of us (including myself) get to a point in our lives where our bodies just don’t work as well as they used to. We hear terms like “range of motion,” “rotator cuff injury,” “bone spurs,” “inflammation,” to name a few. If someone suggests a yoga class, we quickly respond that we’ll go to one after we recover some of our flexibility, somewhat the same as saying that we will go to the doctor when we feel better. 

There is a way around all those picture-perfect postures (poses). I call it “sneaking in under the fence.” Others call it adaptation or variation. 

Each yoga posture has a primary intention and a secondary or even tertiary intention. The intention is what the posture is suppose to help us with. Postures can be done in different ways to accomplish the intention (s) without creating any pain in the process. In short, we shouldn’t be doing a yoga posture if it hurts. There is usually another way, a better way. 

The next time you go in for a medical exam and are asked if there are tripping hazards in your home, you can stand up and challenge your doctor or nurse to a one-leg balance posture. 

There’s something else that you will pick up during this series, how breath combined with certain postures can create more relaxation and less worry. It’s one of those things that I’ll sneak in under the fence when we go through the yoga practices.
