Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It is so nice to see that you are trying yoga to help you provide relief from your back problems. It was great to have Connie in the recent 10-day program on pranayama/meditation. I was kind of amused to read that both Jennifer and Connie are doing a class for two on the porch. In addition to the cat & cow stretch, you may also like to try some of the simple reclining twists and a couple of other simple stretches mentioned in part 2 of the article. Breathing exercises should definitely help in cleansing and energising the nervous system which should also provide relief to the muscles of the back. I wish you all the best. Please write to me with your progress through yoga. Regards. Dear Donna,

Thank you for all you do to promote the wonderful benefits of Yoga. Sincerely, donna denton Dear Subhash,
i want you to know my daughters Connie who was in your class these past ten days. and Jennifer who brought me to meet you in the moving mantra studio in July have set up a morning class for the two of them on our porch.
i was invited to join them this morning so Jennifer fixed a wicker chair for me with pillows and a footstool and a lap quilt for warmth for me.
i did the breathing exercises and a few chair yoga poses.
i have had two back surgeries, you might recall. i have found the cat and cow pose is very good for my back. but the one foot forward and one back for support are not . that pose causes the nerves in the lower back on either side of the sternum to have a lot of pain.
i thought i would try the yoga class at the health club this morning. just to watch what the teacher did.
i found i could do the stretches as long as i did not bend from the waist.
or do the plank or the sphinx poses. they were hard on those nerves. and i did not want to do anything to strain my back nerves,etc.
i thought i would write to you about this. just to share my experience of today.
Thank you for all you do to promote the wonderful benefits of Yoga.
Sincerely, donna denton
