既然有緣到此一訪，
何妨放鬆一下妳(你)的心緒，
歇一歇妳(你)的腳步，

讓我陪妳(你)喝一杯香醇的咖啡吧！

這裡是一個完全開放的交心空間，
躺在綠意漾然的草原上，望著晴空的藍天，
白雲和微風嬉鬧著，無拘無束的赤著腳，
可以輕輕鬆鬆的道出心中情。

天馬行空的釋放著胸懷，緊緊擁抱著彼此的情緒。
共同分享著彼此悲歡離合的酸甜苦辣。
互相激勵，互相撫慰，互相提攜，
一齊向前邁進。

也因為有妳(你)的來訪，我們認識了。
請讓我能擁有機會回拜於妳(你)空間的機會。
謝謝妳(你)！

A Healing Home Practice to Foster Confidence & Resilience Against Chronic Pain

Practice this sequence, designed to relieve chronic pain and increase flexibility.

PAPO CABALLERO

OCT 13, 2017

When I found yoga 11 years ago, I had decades of cycling and soccer playing behind me. My body was tense, perpetually sore, and in some places, wrecked: A bad cycling accident had left me with a broken femur, where it connects with the hip socket. The physical pain, even in recovery, was excruciating. And mentally, I felt way off my game. I turned to yoga to help repair and rebalance my body and mind. The practice delivered: I gained new flexibility that helped correct the asymmetry caused by my injury, and I was able to relieve my nagging chronic pain.

The following sequence is designed to foster greater resiliency and confidence in your ability to walk, run, cycle, or enjoy asana for years to come.

Practice Tips

1. Use your breath to build heat and focus. Inhale, visualizing your breath filling your pelvis, low back, and ribs; exhale, visualizing your breath leaving your ribs, low back, and pelvis. Breathe through your nose, eventually adding Ujjayi Pranayama (Victorious Breath).

2. Warm up with three rounds of Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) A or B—to heat your body and focus your mind.
