Huh. I was going to a yoga class briefly (and although she was certified, I did not believe she was an expert teacher). She was trying to get me to do stuff and my body just flat out wouldn't do it--I even told her I had back issues. I talked to my doc about it who has been working with me on my hips and low back (chronic pain from an injury years ago) and she was adamant that I should not be doing those things! So I quit.

I do a video, available on netflix, Candlelight Yoga. It's a very gentle yoga program. It's relaxing and I do enjoy it very much. But it is the only yoga I have ever been able to do.
