Hello!
Firstly, I just sent a PM to Jane cos somehow I missed her post from exactly 6 months ago. Doh! I will wait to see if she is still needing help on her issue and if there’s been any improvement or indeed yoga is still on the menu! :cheese:
Angela, your turn!
Have you had repeated episodes of the numbness? Is it tingling or is it numbness? Is it loss of sensation on the skin or a sense of heaviness, or something else you can find some words for? Did adjusting your electrolytes come into the picture for you? And if it continued to bother you did you seek some medical advice?
Lots of questions!
How’s the cramping these days? My first instincts when I read your post was to focus on some stretching through your calf. Sometimes people try SO hard in floor bow that they are using their calves and feet TOO MUCH. (Reversing the cramping movement is often the way to help that situation, but of course we’re not even sure what the issue is just yet.)
You really ought to try relaxing your feet and calves in bow, but drive the pose with your upper legs. I remind my students to move their knees upward and their feet toward the back wall. There really shouldn’t be tension in the calves or feet to make that happen.
Let me know if that makes sense.
Namaste
Gabrielle 🙂
