Common Questions and Answers about Flexibility yoga back
flexibility
Were you doing yoga before you got pregnant? I'm interested to know how much it differs...if it is worth going to a specific prenatal class or just modifying a normal class. Need to get my yoga on again! Just don't want to have to drive across the city when a studio is a few mins away from home.
I want to increase flexibility and muscle tone. Does anyone have any recommendations for a decent yoga/exercise DVD?
What about yoga and increasing your flexibility? I have noticed when I stretch and do my yoga first that my back problems are much easier to deal with while working out.
What about acupuncture? I did this with my second pregnancy for my migraines and morning sickness.
I'm just starting to lose my pregnancy weight from my third child who was a csection 15 months ago but I had some complications that hendered my weight loss but those are getting under control now slowly and surely.
Today I woke up and felt fine, went for a quick EASY bike ride and then sat down afterwards, and when I stood up it felt like my quad muscles had turned to bricks and the back pain came back suddenly, my legs were so tight and fatigued that I could barely walk!
I just have no idea what's going on.
I've recently tried drinking electrolyte powder thinking my stiffness and spasms were caused by lack of electrolytes, but that is not helping!
I took prenatal yoga and pilates classes which helped with flexibility and breathing! I wish i could find the time to take some classes with my second.
s uncomfortable to sit even for short periods of time as there is a dull pain from my glutes down the back of my legs. I have been to a spinal PT and I temporarily felt better but not much. He focused only on my spine and said my movement was very limited for a 27 year old. I had an X-ray taken in December that my Internal Med. Physician initially said revealed dehydrated discs around the S1 area but later said they looked fine. I have been doing yoga 3-5 times a week the past 1.
Prenatal water aerobics or just swimming in general is easy and feels good
t run/jog because of my back, and also the knees are a bit worn from working as an electrician in a steel plant for 28 years. Have a few free weights, a combination machine, and stationary bike.
I love Zumba too but i wouldn't starting Zuma though if you weren't doing it before your pregnancy only because it is a lot of jumping and can be intense. Yoga is a good idea. It really is a good workout and you don't bounce around or exert too much. It is amazing for strength and flexibility and burns calories too.
I Also do squats as the shower is running before I get in to help my thighs and butt. Prenatal yoga too for flexibility. You can get a cheap DVD from Walmart.

Non-Slip Yoga Mats
What is a non-slip yoga mat?
A best non-slip yoga mat is a specialized type of yoga mat designed to provide a grippy surface that helps prevent slips and falls during yoga practice.
I get them occasionally... They come and go and last for a few seconds to a few minutes. Sometimes the areas just feel sore... Like I was doing a crap ton of sit ups. I do prenatal yoga though and every week for a few days after class the pains aren't as intense... I guess from all the stretching & strength & flexibility exercises.
This is ny first pregnancy. I'm 18+3.
As your skill builds, the added poses become increasingly challenging in different ways, which makes yoga an exercise routine that grows with you. Another basic yoga concept is that everyone is on his or her own path, progressing at his or her own pace. So leave behind the competitive spirit or fear that you’re not as good as others. Be sure to let your instructor know you have arthritis so he or she can help adapt the poses to match your personal physical limits.
The advice by the person recommending yoga is apt -- my first back problem came from doing yoga, so anything can become a problem if it doesn't suit you. Swimming can also be very stressful on the neck and shoulders, as I learned to my surprise since everyone always recommends it. Basically, nobody can tell you a workout that will suit you, so you're going to have to experiment and hopefully find someone who is an expert on movement to help you and show you.
Some patients undergoing Schmorl’s nodes treatment need to wear a brace for a number of months and use an anti-inflammatory medication. If you think you may have Schmorl’s nodes see a chiropractor immediately. The back is a delicate structure and you can make your situation much worse if you let it go untreated.
Thank you everyone. I figured all of this but I feel so judged by family and other people that I wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one.
I have been taking yoga-lates. it's yoga and pilates. This class is for almost all levels. I have been doing well on it. I am not able to do everything (about 85% completion and more the more I do it). It helps with flexibility and cardio, without totally straining your body. I used to be able to walk three miles in 45 min. now I can't walk a flight of stairs. Changing my diet to more fruits and veggies, and cutting down on fried foods help. Tumeric helps for the inflammation. Good luck.
