Hi All!

Has anyone tried yoga for pain relief? I'm too painful to exercise and I need to do something to try and stretch.

I've tried walking but it hurts way too much!! I thought maybe yoga would be gentle enough to try.

Anyone find it helpful?

Thanks, Carol

Hi,

I have thought about Yoga, but then realized I would not be able to get myself up and down off the floor! How sad is that?

Good luck to you if you decide to try it.
