I’ve been doing yoga every day for about twelve years.
I was having a lot of lower back pain from volleyball and decided to give yoga a try, along with some hot and cold therapy for the body. Anyways, within about three or four months my back stopped hurting and hasn’t been a problem since. It’s about a 15 minute yoga routine and it covers all of the muscles and joints of the body. If you want to get into it just start with one minute a day for a week and then go to two minutes on the second week, and so on up to about 15 minutes or more if you want. Keep the room warm with a space heater or central heat so you don’t end up pulling a muscle or injuring a joint. I think being flexible has made me a happier person because I don’t have pain in my body anymore and I am able to move with a greater range of motion. Free the body, free the mind. The guy at the HVAC business does yoga too and sometimes we meet at the beach and do a routine together by the sea. He is a footvolley player and I am a volleyball player, and we have both come to the conclusion that yoga needs to be incorporated in our lives each day. He has worked at the heating company for as long as I’ve been here and has been doing yoga for about twenty years, every single day! I’m so lucky to have friends like this.
