Being laid up with a broken leg, I am unable to practice yoga asanas as I usually do. It doesn't mean that I'm not practicing yoga. There is more to yoga than the physical poses.
Since my fibula fractured on 8/10, I have shifted from a dynamic flow to practicing kundalini yoga. It's defined as

a physical, mental and spiritual discipline for developing strength, awareness, character, and consciousness. Practitioners call Kundalini yoga the yoga of awareness because it focuses on the expansion of sensory awareness and intuition in order to raise individual consciousness and merge it with the Infinite consciousness of God. As a form of yoga and meditation, Kundalini's purpose is to cultivate the creative spiritual potential of a human to uphold values, speak truth, and focus on the compassion and consciousness needed to serve and heal others.

It's a very different practice from the last 25 years for me, but this is not the first go round for me. Recovering from surgery in the past, I've turned to kundalini to help with the process.

I'm not able to practice the asanas. I am able to practice the breathing, meditation and mudras. Long deep breathing is the center of kundalini

Make your spine straight, whether you are sitting, standing, or lying down. This whole breath is done very slowly and consciously, and the air moves in and out through your nose, not your mouth.

INHALE

Then slowly move your belly outward. As you do this, you are automatically drawing your diaphragm down.

As your diaphragm moves down, it pulls the bottom of your lungs down, thereby pulling air into the bottom of your lungs as a bellows action. Allow your bottom ribs to expand, and then expand the upper ribs to bring air into all of your lungs!

EXHALE!

Now slowly move your belly in.

This pushes your diaphragm up, and pushes the air out of the bottom of your lungs. Contract your bottom ribs, and then the upper ones for a full exhalation.

PACE

Do this as slowly and fully as you can comfortably do it. And be sure that the length of your inhale equals the length of your exhale!

The current meditation that I've been using for the last few weeks is:
Mudra: Have the hands in Gyan Mudra, or resting in Buddha Mudra in the lap. Maintain a strong Neck Lock (jalandhar bandh).
Mantra: Chant the Adi Shakti Mantra, EK ONG KAAR SAT NAAM
SIREE WHA-HAY GUROO
One Creator created this Creation.
Truth is His Name.
Great beyond description is His infinite wisdom.
in a 2-1/2 breath cycle, in the following manner:
Inhale deeply and as you pull in the navel abruptly, chant EK. Then ONG KAAR is drawn out. Give equal time to Ong and Kaar. Inhale deeply and as you pull in the navel abruptly, chant SAT. Then NAAM is drawn out. Then, just as you get to the end of the breath, add a quick SIREE. (pronounced S’REE.) Inhale half a breath, pull in the navel abruptly, chant WHA. Then HAY GUROO (HAY should be relatively short, GUROO is pronounced G’ROO and is drawn out, but not too long.) The Ong Kaar and Naam Siree are equal in length. The Wha-hay Guroo is equal in length to Ong. Try not to let the pitch fall.

While the practice of asana is an integral part of yoga, you can still practice yoga if you are physically unable.
