It wasn’t until after my hysterectomy that I realized how many useful things I did not know about the surgery and recovery until I experienced them… and not for lack of searching.

I got some great advice from an experienced teacher (thanks, Micheline Berry!) before started teaching yoga: You have to be willing to make a fool of yourself because you will end up saying the most ridiculous things. It’s so true! Confusing left and right is an easy mistake to make. I’d be retired if I had a dollar for every time I heard or said that one. But when I say elbow and I mean foot, you’d think I was a stroke victim. What’s up with that?
