Hi-
I came upon this site quite by accident. What a beautifully organized, edited and informative website.
I started yin yoga practice about 3 months ago. A friend loaned me Mithoefer's book and I just started practicing. After reading more at this website I need some help with sequencing and putting together what would be optimal for me.
I got ill with "fatigue" many years ago and that all led to panic attacks, digestive issues, etc. I got limited help(which was quite expensive) from seeing people so over time I learned a lot on my own starting with qigong and energy healing, the meridians, chakras and emotional healing through meditation, breath work, etc. Much of what was wrong has been healed and I am committed to completing this journey. Yoga felt like the next logical step based on what I have left to do. So, of course now money is limited.
I have constriction in the hips/groin/pelvic area that causes abdomen to push outward. (Perhaps psoas and transverse abdominus related). The trick as I have learned is that if the adrenals really get stimulated the belly contents will push up. Not fun. I think some adrenal stimulation is unavoidable but I need help putting together a program that will will allow pelvic area to open so that the abdominal contents can settle into place.
I have seen progress in a short time but perhaps mitigated by improper sequence of practice.
Thank You
Sam
