hi Gabrielle
thanks for getting back to me i tried to access the thread you gave me but it seems i am unauthorized to view this forum.
i am planning on buying your book, dose it give info on what postures i should avoid doing for cubital tunnel syndrome.
you say back bends are great for many illnesses, will that help with cubital tunnel or aggravate it more. also is doing suryanamaskar a and b bad or good for this problem. i absolutely love doing yoga but since i got cubital tunnel syndrome in my left arm 2 months ago everything has been put on hold. i live in the Indian Himalayas and as you can imagine there are not so many speclist in this feild, so the internet has been my doctor. i am very happy to have found your web site and feel confident that with the correct pose and acupuncture i can get rid of this.
as i do my practice on my own i am not sure if some pose were incorrect positioning, that may have lead to this syndrome especially when i do yoga mudrasana in the closing sequence of ashtanga yoga. i also make jewelry and wounder if after a 2 hour yoga session with relaxation at the end, that my body is all open and lose. then i sit for many hours arms bent blow torch in hand , tweezers in the other silversmithing for hours on end. sometimes 2 , or 4 or 8 hours a day.
i look forward to your reply
thanks again for your time and think it’s great how you help us struggling yoginies
