My good friend Chitra introduced me to Saraswati Vasudevan , a Yoga Teacher and Therapist. Saraswati comes with years of experience, she is patient, a non judgmental listener and a wonderful teacher. Last summer I had monthly sessions at her place and would practice on my own on the other days. This is the Surya Namasakaram that she taught me. Last year Saraswati also took a session for the caregivers at our monthly meeting. The turnout was good, reviews positive. Yoga studio 136.1 was kind enough to offer their space at Alwarpet for no cost. The following video is a set of relaxation asanas they taught during the session. One of her students is demonstrating with Saraswati guiding her. If I do not practice Yoga for few months, I turn irritable, snappy, basically a threat to myself and those around me. With no Yoga for past 6 months looks like I am surely heading there.
When our father suffered a massive brain haemorrhage our lives changed forever. He was not expected to live. Life, priorities, love, friends, family, money, health – everything has gained a new, in many aspects finer and better perspective. A renaissance in our lives. Finding little or no survivors stories online, my sister and I decided to tell our story along with those of many others whose lives have crossed ours in this journey.
