Guest guest Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Especially mild yoga. Some yoga is no more than standing with good posture and relaxing and breathing. In fact, yoga can be done lying down in a restorative position. Yoga helped me get through pregnancy and childbirth! There is more to it than bending like a pretzel or building body builder muscles, although it does help with flexibility and strengthening. I need to get back into yoga! It would really help with my stress! My son needs to learn how to relax better too! It might help him empty his bladder better and improve his coping skills. Yoga is multi-faceted.

I am planning on starting as soon as I heal from my foot/toe surgery. What does Yoga have to do with Chiari; what is the contraindication?
