I read your book, Structural Yoga last summer and found it fascinating. Now I am in a position that I need your help! How can I schedule an appointment? I started having nerve pains in my feet in July (burning, itching, tingling). At the time I thought it might be related to mountain bike riding and decided to go easy on the biking for a while. The pains subsided in general although they came back whenever I did much, including walking or biking. Then in November I started having nerve pains and numbness in both hands. I finally went to my doctor and was referred to a neurologist. The neurologist did a preliminary exam (results normal) and recommended an EMG and MRI. The EMG was normal.
The MRI turned up an issue that might be causing all my nerve related symptoms. I just learned this week that the MRI shows spinal stenosis at the C5-C6 level. I have an appointment with the neurologist next week and hope to learn how severe the problem is and what he recommends. I would like to incorporate yoga into my recovery plan. I have been doing yoga off and on for many years. In the last year I have gotten more involved in a regular Ashtanga practice. I don?t know if the Ashtanga poses might have aggravated my problem so I am taking it easy and refraining from practice until I learn more. I do miss my regular practice very much and hope that you can help me define a practice that will address my condition and let me reap all those great yoga benefits! I appreciate your attention very much.
