If I go back to sugar, my arthritis pain returns. BTW, the yoga helps my arms and hands, too. I'm sleeping with a shirt with a zip pocket between the shoulder blades with 3 tennis balls in it. This keeps me from sleeping on my back (sleep apnea.) However, sleeping on my sides can hurt my arms so the yoga keeps that pain away.

The class I take is structured for people 50 and older. Can't tell how old the teacher is, but she's got salt and pepper hair so I figure about 60. Extremely fit.

My gym has M/W yoga and T/Th fitness. I noticed a lot of silver hair in the classes, a guy I ran into told me it's called Silver Sneakers. He is on crutches and told me he needs it to stay fit with his condition. People with disabilities that workout inspires me no end.

The class uses chairs or mats, so people that need accommodations can participate.

I have trouble with my back. In fact I’m having an episode right now with terrible pain on dpinevbrtween shoulder blades. I use ice. I also have an Inversion machine I use at times like this.
I have been thinking of signing up for a Yoga class. Blue Singer - it’s really working well for you. I’m glad. I’ve never done yoga.
