I have a changed perspective. It’s time to move on to more meaningful pursuits.
In 1997 I had a outdoor cycling accident and trauma in my neck. At that time was ok. Time has past and my body finally past me the bill.
Today, July 31, 2013 after 10 weeks from cervical spine Fusion c4 – c5 – c6 to mend my body and mind back to good condition.
I did not have alternative and I my neck was in very bad shape because of over use.
I was having numbness and weakness in my upper limbs. I was with other spines doctors and physiotherapy in Qatar, but without good result.
I need to say that all new X-ray and new MRI showed that my Cervical Spine vertebrates was collapsing. I was experiencing numbness and paralysis of my left side in April of this year. Taking pain killers from a very wrong diagnosis…
in May 4 of this year, it became more severe and I was here in Bangkok for training in Pilates and I was paralyzed again in my room.
This time I was in the very capable hands of doctors at Bumrungrad International Hospital with its amazing team of Spine doctors. They have all my respect!
The diagnosis was immediate surgery to avoid paralyze or death.
I was so shocked, sad and terrified by this news. I did my own search and the answer was the same. I was so sad to see myself so vulnerable.
Now, after 10 weeks of surgery, i’m getting my life back, my job, my loved one and facing day by day with very positive attitude.
I am glad to be in my own skin. To be a Yoga Teacher for so many years has helped me to apply every second the 8 limbs of Yoga. To be mindful and be aware of the kick ass yoga instructors; I can not guaranty if we can call themselves Yoga practitioners or even yoga instructors.
As a Pilates senior teacher, thanks to my strong core and determination I am moving again. Pilates is great for the power house, not to much for my CI Pilates principals for injury
in Spines need to be more expanded and accurate with loving kindness teachers.
I am working and developing my own Pilates for spine injuries. “LuzLife Pilates Total, Spinal Rehab by myself” Copy Right 2013.
Indoor cycling and others way of cardiovascular exercise are great when our mind and body are in union with the Devine.
Learning Alexander Technique and practice in my own emotional impact and how on those areas are affected by fear its always good to observe ourselves first…
Learning healing tools like Shiatsu, stretching massage and aroma therapy, music therapy to complement my own training to share with all of you.
Sharing the real experience is always better to pretend to be when we are far way to be human and caring for others. Honestly good foundation is the root of the true loving kindness. Far away from ego; very close to our loving heart. After all that made us a real beautiful and mindful.
Namaste
