Well I had my eye surgery last Tuesday and one of the very first questions I asked my doctor was when I could do hot yoga again? He laughed and said he also did hot yoga and understood why I asked that. I told me I had to wear a sweatband on my head to keep the sweat from running into my eye and also I couldn't put my head down because it would add additional pressure to the eyeball for two weeks. I told him I could handle that. Having a prosthetic leg I have to do several modifications anyway so adding even more was not that big of a deal. I was just happy to be able to do hot yoga even if it was not to my full ability. One new stretch Christiana had come up with in my last class before my surgery was almost the splits for me. She came over in the middle of class and asked if I could try something. With my residual leg forward on a small pillow and left leg all the way back behind me I was almost able to do the splits. I was so shocked and excited at the same time. I will keep working on it and will get all the way down soon because I am very close.
One of the yoga instructors I have been wanted to take her class was having a birthday party on Sunday. She teaches restorative Yin and I have wanted to try this class out. Spark Hot Yoga of Marysville was having her birthday class Sunday night and it was free. She was asking for a donation and all the money was going to the charity of her choice. The charity is called Canine for Independence. I thought I could do many things at one. I could finally have a chance to take her class, donate some money to a terrific charity, and have some cake on top of it. Can't get a hole lot better than that. :)
