i'm taking a certification yoga course. i'm not sure what i want to do with it. i may find a place where i can volunteer and help children and adults who suffer from childhood trauma. i learned that the stress from childhood trauma settles in the hips. i practiced the other day for close to three hours. the feeling after was amazing. it lifted my emotional level, my confidence, and i was walking tall. i felt all that. i felt happy.

I've done yoga in the past with dvds but i just joined a yoga studio and there is nothing like taking a class with an instructor. I always feel terrific afterwards and plan to make it a priority. I also have my second accupuncture appointment tommorrow, i felt great after my first session.

Love the 'grasshopper' screen name, especially in reference to yoga...gave me an instant pleasant memories of the 'Kung-Fu' series with David Carradine!

LOL, BK! Me too! I have never tried Yoga, but your post makes me want to try it now! Anything that makes another survivor glow (and I can tell by your post that you ARE glowing!) is definitely worth trying!!

thank you for you replies! you know i read: trauma through a child's eyes and it taught me about sensation. yoga is all about that and breathing. it is doing wonders. ultimately i have to believe in myself. i do boxing and it helps with confidence. i also work out of my courage to heal book. i'm not going to my therapist of two years, but i know he is there for me. i have ups and downs but i'm dealing with them better.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
