If I could sit up straight, or stand up straight, I would. I have a couple of Beginnger Yoga DVDs I used to love to do in the AM and PM. I haven't for a while though. Tomorrow I go see my surgeon again. I think we're going to have a LONG talk. And I hope he's listening! : ) Thanks for letting us know about the free yoga classes. I know so many people who say they want to try yoga.

did you have any physical therapy? You should have daily therapy help.

I've had 8 back procedures done in the past year, 2 being very minor surgeries. All that has been done to keep from having major surgery on my back. Right now I'm not kidding. I can't sit up or stand straight. I've got a cane that I'm using at the moment. I don't think I should let him cut me open and do an all out surgery. But I'm just not sure what else to do. I had a car accident ten years ago that did all the damage.
Yoga used to energize me, and then I would do PM yoga and I'd fall asleep easier every single time I did it. I still do yoga breathing exercises, but that is about all I can do at the moment.

Yes I would, I would like to try it our and see what it is about. I have seen it on television and in videos online. But One can never know they are doing the poses right unless they have someone observing them to tell them what is right and what is wrong about their poses. The closest to me is 78 miles away at the

I don't own a car so that is a bit far for me..and to far to pay someone to take me.But it is a great opportunity for those who can go and take it for free.

Yeah, but being overweight I cannot do alot of the exercises.. So I would need someone to guide me in the direction with ones that I can do and do properly that would help me the most.

Hi, polachicago. :)
What a great program this is. Thanks for sharing it with us here. I'm too far along to be able to qualify for a free introductory class. But the studio I take classes from awards us with free classes based on attendance or other merits. I wish there was an award for sweating the most.

Free classes are good way to find out if you like instructors and classes in given locations...
ya, ya..ladies glow in the dark...

Oh, of course, that would be an excellent way to use it, Polachicago. I'm such a creature of habit about somethings that I hadn't even thought of that.
Glow??? Is that what I'm doing, glowing? That explains why they are always throwing towels over me in class,..... trying to dim the light a bit.

Hi pola,
Awww, the only one around me was already scheduled for January 23rd. The rest are way too far away. Although I have a bad neck and back, I think it would be kind of interesting to see if I could do this. Would have been fun I think. It's suppose to be a very good exercise, hey, who knows, it might fix my back, hmm?

Well, I don't live in the states, so I guess not. But you go ahead and have a good time for us both.
