Dr. Risk’s Thoughts
I started doing yoga when I was 21. With undiagnosed Lyme, I was in a tremendous amount of pain, and spent most of my day suffering from it. I started taking yoga classes, and when I went through school, developed a short routine I did every morning. Without my daily yoga, I was unable to sit through a lecture without being incredibly uncomfortable. I often wonder how people get through their days when they aren’t embracing something like yoga, tai chi or qi gong that can slowly help them recover strength, mobility and balance. I will always remember a patient who was resistant to try tai chi, then found it changed his life and he ended up going three times a week. There is so much available to us, we just need to be open. Yoga can also help to slow you down, be aware and be calm.
