Truths From the Covid Unit
For those of you who haven’t read my other posts, I had contracted a covid-19 infection while I was in a hospital for back surgery. I developed pretty severe symptoms. High fever, nausea and vomiting, extreme fatigue and weakness, and wheezing and shortness of breath that led to needing to be on oxygen.I was in the hospital for 2 weeks, and then was transferred to a rehabilitation hospital for 3 weeks. It was a terrifying ordeal. Aside from myself, I personally don’t know anyone else who had to be admitted to the hospital for covid. The people I know who were infected, were fortunate enough to be able to recover at home. The point of this post is to raise awareness as to what goes on inside the covid unit. Everyone speculates what it might be like, but I’m here to give you the full inside story, coming from someone who lived there.

Manoj UpadhyayPublished 3 years ago in LongevityFinding Zen
I've always been drawn to yoga, ever since I found out it was a thing, and while my practice has been piecemeal over the years, I feel it is fair to say that my yoga practice has coincided with some very significant and wonderful moments in my life. Over the last 20 years I have tried many different classes, and some have been life changing such as when I was attending classes at Yoga Baby when I was pregnant with my son, but many classes just didn't feel quite right for me. Hot yoga is sweaty and disgusting in my opinion and as someone who is hyper-flexible I was always having to be conscious of not over-stretching and hurting myself, other classes have felt too fast or focused of intense levels of contortion, which while I appreciate this may work for others just didn't help me to soothe my impressive Vata imbalance. Then by happy chance I found myself in Louisa's class. Her classes were the gloriously blissful highlight of my week, no matter how I was feeling her class just seemed to be magically tailored to meet my exact needs, it was like she knew my soul better than I did. Unfortunately, after about a year I was no longer able to attend Louisa's classes, but thankfully she pointed me in the direction of One Family Yoga and Fitness, where I found wonderful classes that also felt like just the magic I needed to soothe my soul and find a little zen in my manic life. It was here that I first experienced Restorative Yoga, if you have never tried it you really must, the feeling of stillness and of being completely held and supported is truly divine.
