Wrist injury

I have had a frustrating couple of weeks due to a wrist injury. I fell on the ice in February and the result has been a touch of tendinitis in my right hand. The full extent of this injury has taken a couple of months to kick in, but now I am unable to put any weight on it at all. I have had to pull right back in my practice and have been advised to do NOTHING.

To keep my fitness levels up I have taken to running and now my left knee is protesting! So, I have decided that I need to use this time wisely and to rest fully instead.

Now that the weather is so nice, Andy and I have been going on lots of lovely long walks in the country - at least I can still do that! We have such beautiful countryside on our doorstep and we have been exploring Perthshire over the past couple of weekends.

My wrist feels a little better today, so I did some practice without the Vinyasa and it felt great to get back on the mat and to get my body moving again.

Fingers crossed for swift healing.

New term

The new tern at the Yoga Room has been as busy as ever and I am excited to see new faces and some old students returning.

I have been enjoying the country life once more after a terrible winter of commuting with cancellations and delays galore! I wrote a letter of complaint to Scotrail and was given a paltry £9.00 for a flood on the line that delayed my journey by 3 hours and cost me £50.00 in a taxi!
I am so happy to see the service settle down and return to normal. I plan to spend next winter in India with Sharath to escape the dark and cold of Scotland and to avoid the terrible travelling conditions.

I am feeling the need for a good Teacher at the moment. I have been practicing on my own for some time now and I need to be inspired. There are only a handful of Teachers that I rate highly and that I have been fortunate enough to study with over the years. Unfortunately, these teachers are all in far - flung corners of the world - perhaps a trip to Hawaii is on the cards!
