PROLOGUE

 

Just about a week and the teacher training

course (TTC) finishes for all the students in my

class, but not for me. The last days the pain in

the lower sacrum has gradually increased. It

hurts when I do Upward-Facing Dog, it hurts

when I try to open my hips. I feel it when I’m

sitting, and I feel it when I’m sleeping.

I’m looking for

advice from

experienced yoga

teachers around,

but my case seems

quite rare, and all

of them merely

say, ‘Just stop the

practice for a few

months.' I realize that I can’t complete the

course. I’m tired of constant pain, I feel lost, I

don’t have a clue whom I should approach to

resolve my situation.

And here my journey into self-exploration and

truly mindful practice start.
