Ah bicep tendonitis...any advice on how to "rest" the proximal bicep tendon AND practice Ashtanga? :) OR, any one else experienced bicep tendonitis? I'd love to hear your story.
Also, what do people think about injuries in general? Is it best to practice through them, modifying, or is it best to wait until you are sure you are totally healed to return to asana?
I'm debating about whether to go to led class in the morning, the shoulder is not up to par, maybe going and skipping vinyasas is the way to go. The safe way to go would be to wait, I spent 20 something years not practicing, I don't think another week or so would kill me ! Oh, but I do miss the energy of the class.
Happy Weekend Everyone ! :)

My journey with ashtanga yoga.
About Me
- Elaina
- TX, United States
- I'm just completed my PhD in neuroscience. I've missed asana greatly as I have focused more on incorporating my other limbs into everyday life. I'm ready to get going again, and will post here often about my journey. I may write a little about my post-doctoral research in the department of Neurology at UNC - Chapel Hill. Also, in my spare time I edit scientific articles for American Journal Experts, a firm that performs journal editing for researchers around the globe.

I've been injured several times and I've always carried on the practice but modified everything, sometimes heavily (i hurt my knee and practiced with 1 straight leg for 2 months).
I know someone who got very ill and turned up to class everyday and just sat and breathed.
Do what you can and use it as a time of inquiry into each pose.
Heal soon!
It's hard to say, and depends on the nature of the injury. I've rested at times, kept practicing at times. But I do have two knee surgeries to show for not sufficiently respecting the limits of my body, and so causing torn meniscus in both. Respect what the pain is telling you.
