As I was gently reminded at last night’s yoga class, yoga is more than asana. Perhaps it’s a perfect time to meditate, breathe, learn some chants, revisit the Sutras and consider how these compliment your physical practice (which it sounds like you can still do, without inversions) and your teaching. If you end up having to do the “worst” thing you can think of, consider that it will be short-lived in the big picture of life, it will support a healthier pregnancy and offer unknown opportunities . . . like researching and writing articles.

Your dilemma made be think of a yogi (Gary Kraftsow) I greatly admire and his thoughts about asana in the face of a dramatic health issue he faced . . . “My desire for all those who have only been exposed to the asana part of yoga is that they have an opportunity to appreciate the depth and breadth of this great tradition,” he says. “When you have a life-threatening or serious condition, you can’t rely on what you could rely on before. Yoga is like a raft that can help you go through these things. But in my case it wasn’t asana. It wasn’t even breathing. It was attitude, prayer. These are going to help you when you can’t do anything else.” Here’s the link to the full article http://www.himalayaninstitute.org/yoga-international-magazine/inspiration-articles/radical-healing-yoga-with-gary-kraftsow/
