knee and hip - depression

Questioner · 02-03-2004, 04:29 PM

Can you advise on working with a 45 year old female who had 3 knee
surgeries twenty years ago and has scoliosis and some pain in her hip. I use the joint -freeing series and since she can't kneel without pain we do some of the series sitting. I also use some stability ball for forward bends. I hope you can advise. I need to get your video and knee booklet as I have your teacher manual and large book. Unfortunately, I am unable to do your teacher training this year due to a medical problem due to two major losses. I need some self-care to fight a depression. Thanks for
sharing, C. I look forward to next year for training opportunities. Namaste, Guru.

Lets begin with you. For your need for depression i would recommend that you do sun salutes to your capacity first thing in the morning. every day find out what your capacity is, if you get emotional during this that is great then they are working to break the depression cycle. Lay down and/or sit with it until you get some insights into what you are feeling and what the feelings want you to do. then get out and go for a daily walk 15-30 minutes, just before lunch is an ideal time.

For your client it is not clear what help you or she is wanting. what symptoms need relief? None of this is a problem but she should tell you what she wants, best that way rather than you giving her an agenda based on what you think she needs. Let her tell you what is a problem for her.

May the goddess of abundance Lakshmi bless you and soon. You can order book and reprint articles from my website bookstore at yogatherapycenter.org
