My journey back to being me

I love hot yoga! Since my trauma I have not been back to Bikram's Yoga and I miss it everyday.I havent been back mostly because I am still in recovery. I had what is called an-open tib/fib break, this mean my tiblua and fiba bones broke out of my skin, Ewww gross I know. I have a metal rod in my leg holding everything together. However,as you mat realize this injury among the many others put a damper on my normally very active lifestyle.
I enjoy running , hiking and yoga and many other activities; they are a big part of my life.I do not plan to ever give them up. I could have one leg and one arm and I still will run, practice yoga and try and hike. My goal since I woke up in Shock Trauma has been to get my life back. My life. I feel it is my right to be able to participate in all the things I use to. It helps me ignore the pain, ignore the scars, ignore all the reminders that someone tried to take my life. It reminds me that I won. ( I am somewhat competitive)
I urge anyone that is a survivor of trauma- no matter what type of trauma it is- to get back to doing YOU ASAP. The smallest activity you can resume will shorten your road to full emotional, psychological, spiritual recovery. The physical part is up to you also, it just take more work . If you learn to believe in self-healing, you will come to understand its power.
On my journey back to me I plan to help survivor heal by showing them how I went from victim to survivor. How a person can heal themselves by looking inside first.
Anyway I got off track, I tend to do that. Back to yoga
I plan to visit and take classes at all the Bikram Yoga Studios in my area. I will start on Monday February 22,2010. I will tell you all about my experience. I have some pretty nasty scars on my back,legs, hips and stomach.( that the other reason have not been back) I wonder how yogi's will react to them.I find Bikram Yogi's to be less focused or external appearances and more focused on the practice. We shall see. Like I said I love yoga! So I am going back regardless. I hope they are ready! Boy this should be interesting.
