10,000 Vinyasas

I hurt my knee last week; I don’t know how. I suspect it had to do with the many yoga practices and classes I taught, but there is no one event that I’m aware of. At any rate, my left knee has serious pain when I fold it into the direction of lotus. “Comfortable cross-legged position” is a misnomer. Not trying to be depressed here, but its becoming clear that it will not heal quickly. I also am most aware of how much of my Ashtanga practice depends on lotus and rotating that left foot inwards. I was planning to attend most of an Astanga workshop this weekend, but I will certainly have to modify things in order to participate. I’m actually thinking this will be of some benefit to my teaching, since I will have to experience my classes and personal practice with less mobility.
