How does it feel to have two new hips? It feels like I got my 32 year old body back. 54 year old me is eternally grateful to have had the opportunity for a surgery like this.

I chose the AMIS method (Anterior Minimally Invasive Surgery). There are several reasons for yogis and movers to consider this approach. I speak about that as part of my online workshop, Healthy Hips.

I chose a surgeon who took my concerns about my mobility seriously - and he had done the procedure 2000 times with great success. Every surgery carries a risk. There is never a guarantee. So I put in the work pre and post surgery to be as healthy and strong as possible. I booked myself into a 3 week residential rehabilitation centre and I continued with daily rehab exercises for 4 months.

I did not push the limits, I was very patient. I had great medical, physio and osteopathic support. My many years of practicing Anusara with its therapeutic alignment and biomechanics was a great help for my recovery.
