An interesting case for holding those yoga postures just a little bit longer! 

Yoga class tonight was good, better than the last several weeks actually...still having alot of trouble with my wrists for weight-bearing activities but I do what I can.

It is interesting. Back in my 20s, I did yoga for awhile. The only way I ever heard of was doing it slowly, although not holding poses for 3-5 minutes....maybe 30-40 seconds, though. I thought the whole concept of "power" yoga, when it came along, was contradictory.

Yoga is supposed to be really good for fibro, too.  Glad you are doing this!

I started out doing chair yoga about 9 months ago for all over body pain due to HCV drugs and graduated to the regular class after only a few weeks. It's a mindful (hatha) yoga style that incorpoates alot of relaxation and meditation with gentle movement. There were days when I could not fully participate but I kept at it and so glad I did...I am planning on adding a water aroebics class at my local parks & rec ctr but have to wait till I have the $$ (maybe next month). I slacked off for a while while my daughter and g'son were here but am working to get my home practice routine going again now that I have my peace & quiet back.

really sore today but at least I know I earned it!
