Yin Yoga Benefits

Post by mikymiles »

I had rotator cuff surgery for a massive tear in November. The recovery is going much slower than I or my surgeon had hoped. I am able to spin, do Pilates, gentle Yoga and Cathe lower body workouts with a weighted vest (no weights yet) and I walk daily (walking is for my mental health).

Recently I have been experiencing pain in my left knee, lower back and wrist. It’s very discouraging trying to find the balance of keeping up with my workouts which I love and look forward to everyday and recovering from surgery and now all these aches and pains.

The other morning I got a You Tube notification for a Travis Eliot Yin Yoga class. I’ve done Yin before and didn’t really enjoy it much. I was so achey that morning I decided to give up it a try. It’s long (an hour and a half) but I felt really good after doing it and to my amazement the next day I woke up pain free. It may be a fluke but I’m going to keep doing it.

That sounds encouraging. As you say, it may be a coincidence, but please let us know if you continue to feel better after a few weeks of doing Yin Yoga.

Good luck!
