Yoga in a Cast (Gentle flow for Leg Injury)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- In this video, we will dive into a gentle yoga class for foot or leg injury, particularly for those with a cast on your foot or leg.
This class is for all levels and its purpose is to make sure we maintain our body active even though we are in a cast.
After some research, personal experience as well as talking with some physiotherapists, I figured how traumatic and difficult it is to start rehab after the cast is gone. To start moving your body even before the cast is gone is essential for a more effective and fast recovery.
Love this. Broken ankle at the moment. So used to exercising and yoga with both legs but now feel I can keep going with yoga as part of my adapted exercise regime. ❤
Happy to hear you're finding the session useful 😊
Wow, this was the best I have felt since breaking my ankle 3 weeks ago, both on a physical and mental level. I started crying in the middle out of sheer relief. Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you so much! This was great 👍🏾 I injured my leg last week and today was my first time being able to exercise after being in pain for a week. Really appreciate how gentle this workout was.
Thank you so much! This is one of the very best classes I've done since breaking my foot and ankle 4 weeks ago. Wonderful pace, just the right amount of exertion, stretching and relaxing. It is heartening to see an instructor in a boot/cast- since there is no questio what can/can't be done with these limitations. Best wishes to everyone for a full recovery💛
I had a daily yoga practice up into 4.5 weeks ago when I had foot surgery. I've lost so much flexibility and muscle tone in the last month. This morning I finally felt ready to get back on the mat and looked for a yoga video just like this one. Thank you so much! I really needed this.
Wendy! So happy this video helped you so much! I remember when I broke my heel bone, I felt that the best way to keep my body and mind healthy was to practice and adapt to the situation. Happy to hear you liked the class! I hope you recovery goes great! 😊
I found this video when I broke my ankle. It gave me a choice of exercise instead of sedentary lifestyle . I did exercise with video everyday for 4months. Thank you Joa! You helped my physical and mental condition.
Haruko! So happy to hear that it helped you so much! I know when I was in a cast I also needed to move!
I broke my foot and found this video hoping I could do some yoga while I recovered. It was so helpful, calming and stretchy! Thank you very much! I’ll continue these classes after I’m healed as I enjoy your soothing voice and excellent cues.
Happy to hear this is helping you!
This class was exactly what I needed mentally and physically. Thank you so very much. First fractured bone in 67 yrs. in April. Fractured my R metatarsal (dancer's break). I'm an avid walker and yoga practitioner so this injury has been challenging for me especially with a 9 mo old German Shepherd puppy. So grateful I found you and will continue with this class for my healing. With gratitude 🙏
So happy to hear it helped you!
Your yoga videos made a huge difference in my life while recovering from a broken ankle. Thank you!! Namaste
So happy to hear this!
Soooo grateful to find this adjusted ‘moving meditation’. Broke my ankle but knew I needed to find a way on my mat. Thank you for providing it!
So happy that is helping you!
Wonderful! I have been in a cast for 7 weeks (5 more to go) and am finally allowed to put some weight on it. This was just what I needed!!
I broke my foot 2 months into my yoga journey.. I was feeling so defeated, but this video has given me hope that I will come back stronger. Thank you 🦋
Thank you so much - really enjoying these and so grateful to be able to practise yoga while still injured.
So wonderful! Soothing and invigorating. Perfect attention to injuries and taking care of a foot in a cast. My broken foot and I love and appreciate it!
Happy to hear you liked the session!
Thank you Joa for offering this class and class 2! I broke my left foot 7 weeks ago, and I've been doing one or both of these classes almost every day. It's been such a bright spot in my healing process. Much appreciation!
Thank you for this video. I practiced "normal" yoga every day before I broke my foot. Now I can keep the flow going with your video. Thanks again!
Happy to hear you still practicing with a broken foot! I hope you recover soon
Yes! Great simple video with a clear usable approach. Hope your foot is feeling better. Mine is broken, but I might still use this even after the cast comes off.
Thus was wonderful! Thank you so much! Just broke my foot and miss being active ...this was perfect! Sending love and light to all those going thru an injury! Healing vibes coming your way! 🌟
Happy to hear it's helping you!
thank you so very much for this practice, love and gratitude 🥰🙏
HI, Thank you for the video! Could you possibly do a longer class for a foot injury? 30 minutes isn't quite enough for me! ( I broke my foot 4 weeks ago but I had been doing yoga regularly before that.)
Thank you! I sprained my ankle badly and need some workouts in the meantime!
You're welcome!
Thank you. This practice is ideal as I recover from bi-lateral foot surgery. Best post-op practice I have found so far!
Thank you! I appreciate this while I heal a broken and sprained ankle. 🙏🏻
Thank you very much for this flow. I had foot surgery 4 days ago and am going crazy as I am unable to do anything. This is my first yoga flow attempt, and I enjoyed it. 🙏
Thank you! This was my second time with this one and it's really helping!
Happy to hear it's helping you 😊
thanks for this exercise, I have just broken my leg and this keeps me going
great to hear it's helping you :)
Absolutely wonderful, I just broke my foot and feel so seen and cared for by the end. I nearly fell asleep 🙂 will try this each day. Thank you for this!
Just broke mine too :( found this video today and absolutely loved and definitely helped with my mental, stay strong!
@mirna shamoon I broke my foot too...this has helped tremendously and knowing others aew going thru same helps so much. We all got this! Stay strong 💪
I repeated this for the entire 3 weeks I had my cast and it truly made a difference of strength when I finally walked again. Hope y’all feel the same and heal 🙂💜
That was incredible. This practice will help me immeasurably on my healing journey (grade 2 lateral ankle sprain/grade 1 high ankle sprain). In a boot for a couple more weeks. I was practicing yoga twice daily prior to my injury. Now I know I still can, but the practice will look a bit different.
I'm wondering if you could do a slightly more intense general strengthening practice? I have watched a couple other instructors who made videos while they were in a boot but they are not as intentional and attentive as yours!!
THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you for this! I think I should do an injury rehab series soon.
Broke my ankle and had surgery a few weeks ago. So happy to have found this. Thank you!
You're welcome
I'm doing so well with my recovery because of this video. I can tell my upper body & core have gotten stronger. I would love it if you did a non weight bearing full body strengthening video!
So happy to hear this!
Great video, calming, just perfect thankyou 😊
😊Thank you so so much for this class. I broke 2 ankle bones and have a cast. Your yoga class has helped my body and mind so much. My body was longing for movement and stretching and although I practice yoga I couldn’t figure out what to do till I found your class. It’s also great for bringing strength and energy to the poorly part of my body. ☺️🪷
I needed this, so thankful you made it.
Thanks Julie!
I sprained my ankle and was so sad by the thought of not being able to do yoga for next 3 weeks or so ... but this is gREAT!!! thank you so muchh
Not in a cast, but am in a splint, no weight on the foot after ankle surgery. This was great! I definitely don’t have your flexibility in the hips, but I’m probably at least twice your age.
Hey Robert happy to hear you enjoyed the session! As long as you feel it’s helping you it’s great! Flexibility may take a bit of time to develop, but the benefits of the practice can be felt right away! 😊
This was wonderful. Thank you!
This is an amazing workout! Thank you so much :)
So helpful! Thank you.
Just what I need right now:) Thanks!
Appreciate this so much, thanks!
Thank you! I'm healing from a badly broken toe.
That was amazing and so much helpful. Thanks a lot :-)
Thank you so much! This was amazing
I had a regular practice up to 12.5.24 when I fractured my MT V and my wrist from a fall. I didn't need surgery on my foot. After how long can one start exploring virasana again? I know each case is different but I would appreciate your advice.
Thank you so much for this video. I could do it even with a cast on my hand. The cat cow pose was done with elbow on the mat. :)
Thank you for sharing, it really depends on person to person. I would say to ask for medical advice, and also listen to your body, as it will tell you when you're physically ready 😊
Cat/cow on elbows is a great modification, you can keep doing that until you're fully healed. The benefits of the modification are the same as regular cat/cow
Thank you :) Can I find more for leg injury?
Thank you!!
I have ankle fracture can i do these
Yes you can!
