I took a yoga retreat to help me deal with a long illness and persistent pain in my leg. I found it a little odd that the teacher advised me I had 'feelings trapped in my leg' and instructed me to write a letter from my leg. Much questioning and doubting ensued, but the end of week punch-line is - yep, I experienced a cathartic release and left with a happy leg. When my comfy, experienced yoga pants finally fell apart from much use, I didn't want to part with them, my partner in learning and growing. I created this remembrance from one thigh of the fabric. I call it LegUp. It helps me remember the magical dance between spirit and body, and reminds me to continue receiving the gift of yoga.
