When Silence Becomes Shrill
My Dad suffers from Meniere's Disease. In addition to tinnitus and vertigo attacks, he is deaf in one ear. At least, sometimes he seems deaf in that ear. My family is often surprised to hear him say from another room that we are being too loud and it hurts his ears in response to us talking and laughing. Yet, when we call to him from the other room, he doesn't hear us. This phenomenon is known as recruitment.

I injured myself by pivoting my foot the wrong way while doing a left lunge. That movement caused me to fracture my tibia at the knee.

Yoga’s breathing techniques are what does that. Managing the breath is why people practice yoga, to begin with. Yoga poses are only held upright if you breathe into it.
