Guest guest Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I can tell you what she told me to avoid/not do: No stretching that would involve my back (which pretty much means no stretching when you think about the mechanics of stretching), I have to be careful of one leg because my brain doesn't tell me I've moved it beyond my ability or too far out of place (it can be moved in any direction and as far as the tendons/muscles will allow - my brain just doesn't signal to tell me that I've moved it too far out of place), but beyond that (and being mindful that I have the intrathecal pump which brings in other movement issues but wouldn't impact you), I can do what doesn't hurt. If it's a good studio with well-trained staff they will offer modified yoga classes/movements. I was upfront with the studio about my limitations expecting to get a reply saying no way. The opposite happened though. They sent me an email with the staffs' training, what they could offer and that I could take any class I wanted and they would modify. Easy cheezy as our granddaughter says! As I mentioned, they Yoga studio has " chair yoga " , but when I pressed the instructor about this class, I found out the majority if not all students are senior citizens. No prejudice, but it would be nice to join a class where I can also meet people near my age (I'm getting close to this population, but not there yet!). Kathy Yoga Has anyone done yoga? I am thinking of taking a class, they have a Groupon for a place. Did it help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
