But i'm a pilates/yoga teacher

[bhima]

But i'm a pilates/yoga teacher with an iguinal hernia.

what a shock?
came from a chain of events
1.injured groin dirt bike riding
2.large bloated belly [after xmas period]
3.Bad cough
4.went to the gym for the first time in years on new years day joined a 1 on 1 kettle bell workshop.
on reflection i feel such a fool.
i did what the man said and now have an iguinal hernia.

GP said it would not fix itself and i would need an operation .
i was so bemuised dismayed
not happy!

my bodies my business!

i'm 45 and enjoy running around with the yougens and doing crazy stuff on dirt bikes.

i've been a self employed shiatsu body worker, yoga/pilates teacher for 17 years

this was a terrible moment for me how ever on reflection i'm now sure this will be positve turning/learning point in my life!?

bring it on

[bhima]

i have all the credentials to fix my self and not have the op.

so lets do it.

i have learnt alot from the site
heres some stuff of my own.
1.
i have fasted and gone back to a simple macrobiotic diet.
this i feel is most important.
2.
taken the week off work
lots of time on my back!
i dont want to spend any time with the hernia hanging out
3.
connect with the suttle pilates principles 24-7.
but only when hernia is not out
4.
will work with and research truss oil and herbs and any thing else that may help

Hi Bhima

Thanks so much for posting on the forum. We love the sound of what you are doing, but please keep that hernia permanently in, or it will not get the chance to heal properly.

More information here

Hoping that 2010 is the year of success for you.

Thanks to the truss purchased here i have led a pretty active life and by doing so prepared myself for surgery.
iIs a very long storey however i had key hole surgery on 27 may.
I had a direct inguinal hernia before now i have an indirect inguinal hernia right down to the end of me right testis.
Me very not happy!

That's a drag! I feel having had the failed surgery may complicate the healing process, but there is hope yet. Have a look at the following page: Recommended yoga exercises for hernia healing

I hope this information will help you to heal yourself and in future to heal others via your teaching.

Very good news!
It was a hematoma !
I still have a little lump but all is ok.
I have done alot of exercise before and after surgery even mx with the aid of the truss.
Thanks for the yoga link
