| A real testimonial to the importance of the breath... |
Kari-
I wanted to share with you how significant the yoga breathing I learned
at Inner Harmony helped me heal recently. As you know, I had a very bad
skiing acident, which resulted in 7 broken ribs, a cracked scapula, and a
punctured and collapsed right lung.
While in the hospital, the Dr.s estimated it would take at least 6 weeks to
get the lung back to normal. (The collapsed lung was by far the most
serious of my injuries). As they often do, they required me to use the
lung-expanding breathing apparatus. From the beginning, Dr.s were
amazed at my lung capacity-even before the right lung began to heal,
the capacity of the left lung was tremendous. Even more amazing- only 6
days after the accident, my right lung had gone from less than 10
percent use to over 50. Then, a week later, the right lung was at 90
percent! They anticipate full 100 percent use within another week. This
means that, through breathing deeply and into my diaphram as I learned
to do in yoga, I will have cut the healing time of the lung in half! So it is
with great gratitude that I thank you for teaching me the phenomenal
breathing techniques of yoga!
Sincerely, Carol A.
