If you have #scoliosis or back pain, I urge you to invest in a @yogabody #yogatrapeze 🧘‍♀️I am telling you, I’ve tried most things to rid myself of compression pains from this #spinalfusion. THIS IS A GAME CHANGER. Hang upside down and let your anchor take a breather! 💚🌈⛓🔩

(SIDE NOTE: dear #nyc, if we have an appt and I no call/no show, it’s because the bolts came out of the ceiling of this rickety old pre-war apartment and I am rendered unconscious 😂 professional installation recommended😛) ENJOY!

I apologize in advance for this gratuitous post.
In 2008, after years of being an avid runner I suddenly had crippling pain. I was diagnosed with a herniated T-11, bulging L-5 and a twisted cervical spine as well as scoliosis. I was told that running would not be a possibility in the future.
This diagnosis led me to yoga, healthy eating and every alternative method for healing you can think of. Despite everything I tried for close to 9 years I was met each day with extreme physical pain.
This past year and a half, after putting in physical, mental and emotional effort consistently, I finally felt comfortable pushing my physics limits. 
Today, I ran a marathon. Granted, another runner collided with me at mile 21 (his fault in my world) and I tweaked my knee to hobble to the finish. But I finished. And I learned yet another lesson in humility.
I may not have run my fastest time, I may not have been the most impressive finishing performance, but I completed something that everyone told me I couldn’t do.
Life is too short for that noise.

Thanks to all who helped on this physical journey.
