0:00.0	All right, here we are. This is Jay Brown Yoga Talks podcast. My name is Jay Brown. Welcome to you. If you're new today, all the rest of y'all, what's up? How are we doing?
0:25.4	What's your pain level like? I hate to say it. I had a flare up this week.
0:33.1	And it wasn't even my hip. Regular listeners know I did this whole like series of talks and got the
0:38.5	physical therapy and the MRI and all that stuff done trying to get to the bottom of my pain and my hip.
0:43.7	Well, my hip's been feeling fine. Haven't even having any pain. It's been feeling great for the last
0:49.9	couple weeks. I've continued to do some of the things that I think we're making a difference,
0:55.9	and it's continued to keep the pain in my hip at bay. Of course, out of nowhere, I get this flare-up
1:05.8	in my back. I have these other places along my spine that have sometimes flared up at different times in my life.
1:15.3	And those flare-ups are much more enigmatic. I mean, sometimes I can identify factors like,
1:21.9	I'm not sleeping enough, I'm not taking good care of myself. Sometimes it's like an anxiety thing
1:26.8	that's getting expressed
1:27.9	in my body. But this week, I have no idea. There was no anything I could tell that brought this on.
1:39.4	I've been sleeping good. I've been doing good stuff for myself. I've been feeling okay. It's not like I was in a
1:45.6	bad way at all. And then I took a totally benign step off of the porch onto my left foot.
1:55.2	There was no weird way I landed. I've probably made this movement in my body hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of times.
2:03.6	And on any other day, it wasn't a problem. But for some reason, this week, I stepped down on that
2:08.3	foot. I could immediately felt it. There was a twinge right to that spot of my back. And I knew it
2:12.6	right away. I was like, oh my God, why did that happen? Like, that hasn't happened in a long while. And I actually do have,
2:23.3	like, one theory, but it's a little bit out there. And we actually talk about it today in my
2:30.1	conversation with Monica Gauchy, which I will tell you about in just a moment.
2:36.3	So maybe I'll just, I'll save that theory as to why I may have had a flare up this week
2:42.8	to the other side so we can hear what I talk about with Monica first.
