ashtanga yoga Looking for Ashtanga Yogis w/arthritis

[Guest guest]

Hi Lea,

 

I have osteoathritis in my knees, along with a torn

menescus, and cartilidge damage. I also have some

residual neck problems from a car accident. And am

also approaching 50 so I can certainly emphathize with

the teacher you are referring to.

 

These issues have required an adaptation, or

discontinuation of certain asanas in the primary

series, and a shift in my perspective, but I continue

to have a strong Ashtanga practice. What if anything,

can I help you with?
