Lisa Edelstein Interviewed About Her Yoga Practice

Lisa Edelstein

The web site iYogaLife has done an interesting interview with Lisa Edelstein where she talks about her belief that her regular yoga practice has helped save her back. Here’s an excerpt from the interview:

The first time I took a yoga class I didn’t relate to it at all. But 9 years ago my doctor told me that I was going to need spinal fusions (sawing the bone off my pelvis and putting it in my neck) for the rest of my life because every few years my discs would go like dominoes. I was in pain so I started doing Bikram yoga. Within 3 months, I was pain-free. After 6 months, I never had a neck injury again.

A lot of pain is emotional more than physical. I read a book on back pain and realized that what was hurting me the most was the way I was handling stress.

I don’t like saying I “opened my mind” to yoga because that sounds really hippie-dippie. I really just had to be hungry enough for another solution.

You can read the entire interview here.

    perfect woman (for me), but this picture is terribly retouched! she is much more amazing in natural, without retouch and make-up.
