Yoga Substitue

[Diesal]

Okay, well reading up on other forums about the yoga I noticed people get uptight when people want to skip yoga or change it or something like that. Well I actually need to replace it, and here's why:

When I was about 9 years old, I fell off monkey bars which were about 12 feet high, in a playground where the ground was gravel apart from the area underneath where all the gravel was moved away. Underneath that gravel was a big stone in the dirt which my lower back landed on. For a month I couldn't do much at all. I never went to the doctor either, unfortunately.

Anyway long story short after having an incredibly sore back after yoga I went to the doctor and he told me that what happened is that I damaged a part of my back and since I was real young my spine grew differently (not in a noticeable, freakshow way) and if I continue to do the yoga twists, etc then I risk damaging my back even more.

Anyway, any reccommended replacements? Especially for the rest week, two yogas.

That is a great suggestion Amapola! I definitely agree with you. You have to take care of your back and make sure that you look after it all the time. I know that you want to stay fit and active but breaking your back again will stop you from doing the activities you love to do. So you have to make sure that you do things with caution and ask your doctor a good exercise for your condition. Hope this helps!
