Got my MRI results. I have a disc herniation at the c5 and c6, which basically means I have a slipped disc at those two places. Thanks to alll the endless finishing sequences I did - the embryo the plough, the knees to ear thingy. I felt it on my neck - no pain just pressure, but that was enough to cause the rupture of the sac, especially when I do it everyday for more than 5 counts of breathing. My only consolation is that it isn't bad enough to affect my nerve. That's when it will get real bad for me.
So. I have to re adjust my yoga practice. Especially my Ashtanga. I have become addicted, reliant and dependable on it. I LOVE - still do - the finishing sequence because it is something I am good at. But I guess for the sake of my body I have to learn to how do them without hurting my body. Ahimsa - do no harm, right?
I will have to so a modified
- shoulderstand: with blankets aligned to the top of my shoulders.
- plow pose: with blankets aligned.
- fish pose: bolster.
And then I will continue with the exercise as mentioned in this article:
- plank glide
- plank pump
- vertical hold: dolphin plank to half headstand.
- headstand support: without legs, with legs
