Yoga. Yikes!

Started yoga about 2 years ago to strengthen my ankle after an operation.

Some of our class members do chair yoga and it works well for them.

I have found wearing wrist and ankle supports helps greatly with the more strenuous movements.

Stick with it if you can.
When I started I felt extremely unfit and my balance was unsteady to say the least, I had to use a chairback as support to enable me to do the standing on one leg movments. Now however I can do these movments without any support and just recently I seem to have lost the 'wobble'.

Yoga is all about taking movements slowly and listening to your body.

Good luck.

The others laughed at me and said I was like the princess and the pea as I found the yoga mat so thin. I'm bruised today on my (mercifully few) bony bits. I suppose it's because I don't have the muscle control to lower myself gently and go down with a thump. It's an old building. I hope the foundations are up to my repeated visits.

Oh yes!
I keep telling myself that doing just a little each day should help but I haven't done any today (or yesterday)!

Our teacher had the hall lovely and warm and we did some warming up stretches but I still felt it the next day.
Then the teacher (who is about my age) gets up lithely from the floor without using her hands!
