Uninzi lwethu luye lwajongana nokwenzakala okugulayo okanye ukugula ngaxa lithile ebomini bethu-okunye kubi kakhulu kunabanye. Kodwa kuChristine Spencer, oneminyaka engama-30 ubudala waseCollingswood, NJ, ojongene neentlungu eziqatha sisibakala esihlala sikho ebomini.

U-Spencer wafunyaniswa kwi-13 kunye ne-Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), i-disorder ephazamisayo ye-tissue disorder ehambelana ne-fibromyalgia. Ibangela i-hyper-mobility, ukuxinezeleka kwemisipha, intlungu eqhubekayo, kwaye kwezinye iimeko, ukufa.

Xa iimpawu zakhe zisiya zisiba mandundu kwaye zimbangela ukuba arhoxe ekholejini, oogqirha bambhalela iyeza lokuthenga amayeza, kubandakanya iipilisi zentlungu. “Le yayikuphela kwendlela amayeza asentshona ayazi ngayo indlela yokujongana nesifo,” utshilo uSpencer. "Ndenze unyango lomzimba, kodwa akukho mntu wandinika isicwangciso sexesha elide sokundinceda ndiphilise." Kwaqengqeleka iinyanga elala, kwaye engakwazi ukuqhubeka nobomi obuqhelekileyo.

Nge-20, uSpencer wakhuthazwa ukuba azame i-yoga ngumntu owazi kakuhle: umama wakhe. Wathatha iDVD, wathenga i-yoga mat, waza waqalisa ukuzilolonga ekhaya. Ngelixa kubonakala ngathi iyanceda, akazange aziqhelanise ngokungaguquguqukiyo. Enyanisweni, emva kokuba abanye oogqirha bakhe beye badimazeka, wayeka uqheliselo lwakhe olwaluselula. "Ingxaki nge-EDS kukuba abantu bakholelwa ukuba akukho nto iya kunceda-yile nto bendiyikholelwa malunga neminyaka esibhozo," utshilo uSpencer.

Kodwa ngoJanuwari 2012, waqalisa ukucinga ngendlela eyahlukileyo. "Ndavuka ngenye imini ndabona ukuba ukusebenzisa iipilisi zeentlungu ngalo lonke ixesha kuyandikhathaza, kundivala ebomini," uyakhumbula. "Kulapho ndaye ndagqiba ekubeni ndizame i-yoga kwakhona-kodwa ngeli xesha, ndandisazi ukuba kufuneka ndenze izinto ngendlela eyahlukileyo. yonke imihla"Uqale ngokuziqhelanisa neevidiyo kwiYouTube, kwaye ekugqibeleni wafumana iGrokker, indawo yokubhalisa yevidiyo ebonisa iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zokuhamba kweyoga kwaye inikezela ukufikelela kubaqeqeshi bobuqu ababonelela ngesikhokelo.

Emva kweenyanga ezine esenza into efanayo, uSpencer ngequbuliso waziva etshintsha ingqondo. Yonke into yatshintsha ukusukela ngalaa mzuzu uye phambili, utshilo. "I-Yoga yatshintsha ngokupheleleyo indlela endicinga ngayo kwaye ndiziva ngayo ngentlungu yam. Ngoku, ndiyakwazi ukubona nje intlungu yam, kunokuba ndinamathele kuyo."

“Xa ndikhupha ibhedi ukuze ndenze i-yoga, iyayitshintsha indlela endicinga ngayo ngolu suku,” utshilo. Nangona ngaphambili, wayezakugxila kwiingcinga ezingalunganga malunga nokungaziva kamnandi, ngoku, ngengqondo ethile kunye neendlela zokuphefumla, uSpencer uyakwazi ukuthwala imisindvo elungileyo kusukelo lwakhe lwakusasa imini yonke. (Nawe ungakwenza oku. Funda ngakumbi malunga noncedo lokuphefumla iyoga apha.)

Ngelixa esafumana iimpawu ze-EDS, iyoga incede ekunciphiseni iintlungu, iingxaki zokujikeleza, kunye noxinzelelo lwemisipha. Kwanangeentsuku apho akwazi ukukhama ngemizuzu eli-15 kuphela, akaphoswa kukuqhelisela.

Kwaye i-yoga ayitshintshanga nje indlela uSpencer ahamba ngayo emzimbeni-itshintshile nendlela atya ngayo. Uthi: “Ndiyiqonda ngakumbi indlela ukutya okundichaphazela ngayo. "Ndiqale ukunqanda i-gluten kunye nobisi, zombini ezi zinxulunyaniswa nokuphazamiseka kwezicubu ezinje nge-EDS, eye yandinceda kakhulu ekunciphiseni iintlungu zam." Uziva enomdla kakhulu ngale ndlela yokutya kangangokuba uSpencer iibhlog malunga nokutya kwakhe okungenagluten kwi-Gluten Free Yogi. (Ukuba ucinga ngokutshintsha kwe-gluten-free, jonga ezi ntsomi zi-6 zixhaphakileyo.)

Ukwalandela iindlela zokunceda abanye abantu abanesi sifo. Okwangoku, ukuqeqesho lootitshala-enethemba lokuzisa amandla okuphilisa i-yoga kwabanye. "Andiqinisekanga ukuba ndiza kufundisa estudiyo okanye mhlawumbi ndincede abantu abane-EDS ngeSkype, kodwa ndivulekile kakhulu kwindlela endinokubanceda ngayo abanye." Ubuye waseka iphepha le-Facebook elisebenza njengeqela lenkxaso kwabanye abane-EDS, i-fibromyalgia, kunye nezifo ezinxulumene noko. "Abantu abaza kwiphepha lam bathi liyabanceda ukumelana nokuba noluntu, nokuba abekho kule yoga," ucacisa.

Umyalezo ophambili uSpencer ufuna ukuwusasaza: "Vuka nje uyenze. Uya kuzibulela kamva." Njengazo naziphi na iinjongo zokomelela okanye ebomini, ukuphuma ebhedini nangaphaya komqobo wokuqala linyathelo lokuqala lokuphumelela.
