“Relaxing jaw. Relaxing face….” I’m making some progress, finally, getting back into my yoga. My husband is doing well enough now that I can take half an hour to stretch and try to relax.
I still sound like Rice Krispies, crackling and popping my way into stretches, but I’m able to stretch a bit farther, or hold the pose a bit longer now. I still find myself listening for unfamiliar sounds, or being aware if my husband is in his recliner and shifts position, but it’s getting better.
I’ll also get even more help because my massage was rescheduled to Monday. I’m really looking forward to that. My therapist, Lynn, is a miracle-worker, finding and loosening whatever knots I’ve brought in, whether I knew about them or not.
Being a hard-head, having to learn things the hard way over and over, I’ve had to LEARN that practicing yoga for half an hour or more a day is a really good thing to do for myself. It makes me move easier, makes me hurt less, makes me looser, steadier on my feet, etc.

That’s great that you can get back to that now, good news. All the symptoms you have, I also have-LOTS of noises. But I hear yoga instructors say the same about themselves a lot. Also all of the benefits you mention-same here. If I stay consistent the dividends are great. The only time I have pain or stiffness is when I do nothing. Thank you for your post!

It’s good to talk to someone else who has learned how much daily yoga practice helps. I’m really happy it has helped you, too. Now all I’m fighting is laziness… :0) Thanks for writing.
