What I love about yoga is that it is a series of movements that you make by the power of breathing. So if you are going to lift your arms upward, you do it by deep inhalation. If you are going to do a forward bend from there, you do it by completely exhaling. After about 10 minutes, you will cough up mountains. Gross. After a few weeks, you really do stand more upright, and breath more easily. I am really serious about trying to get the guy whose videos I do to do a video specifically for people with lung conditions. I feel really strongly about it.
I do get the occasional hymoptosis. It will never be easy to get used to. I do not have cepacia, though, so we can wave…. I will keep my psuedomonis and you keep your cepacia. Even if you have psuedomonis, you probably don’t want mine as well.
If you want to come to the Troc show (the early one), let me know. I will put you on the guest list. The later show is a benefit, so I don’t imagine they will have guest lists.
It is really great to have these conversations. To be honest, my sister is the only CF patient I really know. I am game for the carthartic stories for sure.
Thanks
