Today I talk about obstacle 1 in Patanjali Yoga sutras - physical illness and disease "Vyadhi. Over the past 20 years, I have been sick many times, too many too count. I count the miles, but I don't count the times I was sick. Note that this illness is specifically physical illness, mental illness is not covered in this obstacle outlined in the sutra. That comes later. When I get injured or sick, I find a way to run. The pace is slower and I am extremely careful about not overcompensating and creating another injury if I am changing my gait to accomodate the injury.
