Hi there good friend

Good to see you are into yoga.
I had a similar story.

Have fun

Seth,

Did you have to modify the yoga? Because I SWEAR, if I hold a pose for longer than 3 seconds, the joints invovled start screaming.

Now swimming for me is something I do regularly that is wonderful for my joints and my body overall, but I never have been able to understand how arthritics perform youga. Fill us in!

Hi, Seth

I received a yoga video tape** a while back and when I tried it I loved it. The rest of the day I felt like I was glowing. I am a 32-year-old with life-long JRA and the yoga was maybe the most amazing treatment I had ever encountered. I remember later that night, I was watching the new Willie Wonka movie with Johnny Depp. I kept thinking, "This movie's pretty lame-o, so why do I feel like THE HAPPIEST MOST PAIN FREE DUDE IN THE WORLD!!!!!????" Later, I realized it must have been the yoga.

So, my question is: how do you schedule it into your day?

I can't seem to do it. Do you take classes? Do it at home?

I also wondered if I could mail you a copy of a novel I wrote about a young man growing up with JRA. I would love for you to read it and let me know what you think. I would also be very interested in writing for Creaky Joints if you guys would be interested in me. My website is endinginangels.com and my email is endinginangels@hotmail.com.

Thanks, Seth!
