I have a shoulder injury and recently hurt my bicep tendon and muscle and the newspaper pose in this video that Doris teaches…..is something I am able to do without hurting my arm and shoulder.
I don’t know that I could have done it a month ago, and definitely not 2 months ago, bc I was still very sore and the injury had not fully stabilized enough where I could move my arm, but once I could move it, this technique has been very effective!!
On Monday I was not going to join live class bc I was having heightened pain in my shoulder and arm and was concerned about hurting it more by doing something that would have hurt it bc I always want to do all the poses Doris teaches us, even though she says to only do what feels right for our body.
I am so glad I went to class!!
My pain levels went down by the end of it. The pain levels have stayed down lower since Monday’s class. There are so many other techniques/poses that Doris has been able to show me and they are so helpful! All it takes is doing a pose in a specific way that Doris always knows of, to be able to successfully do the pose without hurting myself. Her work is by far better then physical therapy. I have done both.
Thank you for this video Doris!!
I love coming to these between working with you live. They r so helpful!!
You are my favorite lady!!!
I have to admit……sometimes I don’t want to share you with anyone else, lol!
If had it my way….. I would be Doris neighbor or live close by and have her as my yoga teacher and do yoga in person with her everyday to start the day off right!!
