Episode 27: Chronic Illness and Yoga: What it's like when our bodies don't work the way we want w/ Brittany Zeer
It\u2019s one thing to develop a well-oiled routine and have the discipline to follow through but what happens if our bodies aren\u2019t cooperating the way we want them to?\xa0 It\u2019s excruciating to get through a trip to the grocery store let alone make it to a yoga class where you have to bend yourself in all sorts of shapes.\xa0 Each day is a toss-up \u2013 maybe you\u2019ll be pain free, maybe you\u2019ll be bed ridden\u2026..or maybe you\u2019ll think it\u2019s a pain free day and then bam! just when you\u2019re about to make it to an important appointment the pain hits and everything\u2019s a write off.\xa0 It\u2019s frustrating \u2013 how do you plan your day? How do you maintain a yoga practice?\xa0 How do you keep up a social life??\xa0 This is what life is like for somebody who has a chronic illness.\xa0 In this episode, Brittany Zeer is back on the show and we discuss chronic illnesses.\xa0 An accident three years ago left her with chronic migraines and now pain management is on her daily agenda.\xa0 She sheds light on what it\u2019s like to live with a chronic illness, how loved ones can support, pain management tips and how to continue a yoga practice despite the obstacles.\xa0
If you have a chronic illness listen in because you\u2019re not alone!\xa0 If you don\u2019t have a chronic illness, listen in anyway because it\u2019s a chance to flex that compassion muscle.\xa0 The struggle isn\u2019t always visible and there\u2019s a huge part that we can play in supporting our friends. \xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0
