Yoga and back pain?

ravfem · 02-22-2011, 11:33 AM

i used to go to yoga that was adapted for people with physical disabilities or issues. The poses were modified and then modified again for each individual (there was a limit of 6 people per class).

As with anything else, i had to figure out what i could & couldn't do. The yogi never ever pushed me to try something i wasn't comfortable trying. There were lots of times i couldn't keep up with the class, so i just did what i could and kept on keepin on.

It helped a lot with my back and hip pain as well as my general disposition.
