Advanced yoga and 5cm ovarian cyst pain
I have been practicing Ashtanga series 1,2,3,4 rocket yoga and vinyasa regularly for the past couple of years
However last week I found out I have a 5cm ovarian cyst, and as I’m waiting for my laparoscopy operation (I’m doing it trough nh and its 9/16 months waitlist) I experience pain/respiration discomfort in my lower abdominal and pelvic right side so doing advanced yoga feels painful, specially after for the next 12 hours or so.
The cyst (we are unsure which type, but it’s either dermo or endo. They will see certainly on laparoscopy)
I find it so sad that I’m unable to continue using my whole body and deepen my practice like I have been in the past year….
I do not enjoy light yoga, I like to feel my muscles the next days in a bit of pain.
Do you have any recommendations, tips for how I can avoid hurting that area but still continuing practicing?
Or any other alternative sports, exercises?
I heard that some yoga can help actually help the cysts, I’m not sure if that the case for me, would love to explore that?
I like climbing and my main transport is my bike, so may be the pain could be also from the daily bike use?
