Hi!

I made a little stick-figure drawing of Sun Salutation C (called Surya Namaskar C in Sanskrit). I give a copy to my yoga students, and thought I’d share it with you. It’s easy to forget what we learn in yoga class, and I hope this is an easy visual for you to follow. Feel free to print it up & pass it around!

Click on the image, and you can see the page in it’s entirety….it’s also easier to print it out that way.

peace, stacy

the legal stuff: *Please check with your doctor before you try any of these postures to make sure you are in good health.
These postures aren’t for everyone. Practice at your own risk

To help keep the benefits going between appointments, I found a few videos that demonstrate some yoga postures that you can practice at home. Spend a little time daily, or at least a few times a week, and I think you will experience great improvement!

“Legs Up The Wall” is a great pose to reduce blood pressure, and I love the way this teacher uses bolsters and blankets to give your back a slight arch…very restorative!

I really like Esther from Yogatic…she has plenty of fantastic yoga videos. Her Yoga for Sciatica (pt. 2) is no exception:

**I just want to note, that before you try any yoga poses, please check with your doctor! I am in no way prescribing a treatment that I think will “cure” your sciatica…just offering what I think might help you out a bit!

Steamy, herbal balls of joy…that’s how I like to refer to Thai herbal compresses {also called Luk Pra Kob}! They have more than 12 different types of herbs, flowers and roots which are all wrapped up in fabric. The compresses are steamed until they are hot and then used as part of a Thai bodywork session. They are absolutely heavenly when placed at the base of your neck, or pressed along sore muscles. Both the aroma and the heat from the herbs can be beneficial…and they feel especially nice on a cold winter’s day!

I buy mine from Lom Love in Denver…I have tried a few different kinds, and like theirs the best!

Let me know if you are interested, and I will include them in any 90 minute session.

If you come to an appointment wearing jeans, I’ll have you change into some funky Thai fisherman pants. They are one size fits all, and are super cozy!

Many of you have asked where you can get some of your own, so I thought I’d post my favorite shops on *Etsy where I’ve bought mine!

• The cute pants on the top left are from tippykwan from Bangkok {I have some pants from her shop, and can vouch for their quality..she has fabulous service too!!}.
• The pants on the top right are from thaitee in thailand…I just bought a pair {they are on their way!}.
• On the bottom right, are a pair from the 7th rabbit out of Bangkok…it’s another fantastic shop with great service!
• And, on the bottom left, are pants from Thai Fisherman Pants in Northern Thailand…I love the band along the top!

*Etsy is a wonderful online marketplace for handmade goods.
