| I was reading your bio that you sent. I cannot believe how similar our situations were. A lamonectomy gone amuck. More pain than before the surgery. Epidural steroids, drugs, spinal tap and than a fusion. To make matters worse I have spondylolisthesis. and spinal stenosis. ( I cannot believe how similar our situations were.) PT and m ore PT , chiropractic, accupuncture, and massage. Then an epidural steroid gone amuck. That's when I saw you and Dr. Nuzzo on the Morning show. When I came to Chicago I was in such despair. For the first time in almost 10 years I felt that there was some hope for me. I feel that I will eventually have some control . I really can see that I am on the right path to feeling better. So far I've had lots of bumps but I'm confident that things will be better. Many, many thanks . Looking forward to seeing you and Chad very soon Joyce |
"In 1999 a bad case of degenerated disks put an end to my nearly 20 years of yoga practice. I was in such pain that I couldn’t even do child’s pose. For nearly two years, I couldn’t do any exercise at all. Walking and even standing were so painful that at times I had to use a cane to get around…even if it was only a few feet. I was in despair, and thought that my life would never be the same, that I’d never be able to do the things that I loved again. In 2001, determined to recover, I began to take private yoga lessons with Chad Satlow. Doing Astanga yoga was the last thing that I thought I’d ever be able to do. Chad started slowly, just with breathing and gentle stretches. He worked diligently with me, gradually adding poses as I began to regain my strength and flexibility. As important as the yoga was the healing energy that just flows from Chad when he works with you. I believe that this was a key part of my healing. Just as importantly, Chad didn’t let me rely on him. As soon as he felt that I was ready, he moved me from private lessons into a class. Today I am virtually pain free and can do all of the yoga poses that I used to and then some! It’s a wonderful feeling". - SA |
