I cannot do these warming practices (like the oil one) in the winter it seems, because I risk getting a bad cold. Bindy and I were talking over comments and I believe I arrived at the same conclusion she has, which is that some of these practices may apply in India, where the temperatures are mostly 80 degrees, but in the mid frigid NY winter, perhaps it is not such a good idea to get all the heat to come out of your head (as in the castor oil effect), and then venture into 0 degree weather... kind of makes sense...
So, on Monday everything was beginning to ache hence the WTF story, on Tuesday I slept until noon, could not move, on Wednesday I went to practice if that can be called a practice, it was pathetic...
BUT...
.... on THURSDAY....
....I took ADVIL.
Aha!
Let me tell you, now I see why people say this stuff is dangerous, IT IS. My practice was absolutely fantastic, nothing, and I mean NOTHING hurt, even though my head was still dizzy, the muscles just worked. Dropping back? other than the fear issue which Advil still does not fix, no problem!
Enjoy responsibly.
Happy moon day
oh dear, I also am coming down with something. I also find that often I will be feeling a bit icky, practice yoga and it gets worse. Kinda like the movement encourages a 'faster' movement of the virus (and ultimately a faster remedy!).
ReplyDeleteadvil is fantastic. especially the liquid gels....
Hi Eco Yogini, I never tried the liquid version... just the pills... and yes, it is fantastic, that is the word.
