I plan to restart practicing Yoga at home. When I took Yoga classes at the Y, last year, I was uncomfortable because others in the class were experienced Yogis. At some point, I may return to classes. But right now my Yoga comfort-level is withYoga Videos and the Breast Cancer Authority Blog.

This (yoga) is something I need to get back into. It’s been awhile since I’ve done any of the exercises of course I can’t do any strenuous pose, some of the poses I can do I especially love the child pose, I suffer with chronic pain due to Degenerative Disc Disease because of Osteoarthritis, so these poses could be good especially for my back, I have lot of back pain. Anyway good luck with your practice.

I plan to spend more practicing Yoga with DVDs I purchased several years ago from Amazon.com: Chair Yoga:A Seated Practice- with Ann Richmond and Easy Yoga for Arthritis; and, I purchased Yoga for Arthritis from the Arthritis Foundation. Hopefully, in time I can move up to higher level poses. Thank you for your comments.
