Hi Val,

Long time no see... you are missed.

I have been doing yoga for about 4 years, before during and after chemo, I think it was one of the things that kept me going.
As was mentioned it can depend on the yoga you are doing. Off the top of my head, there are alot of poses that do not require alot of arm "pressure", its more stretching than anything else. The more advanced poses balancing on one hand etc. you could modify. ( i have never gotten this far).
This past week I attended a class that they called a "Hot Yoga Class" not in the true sense...what they did was raise the heat to 85 degrees....It was a great work out!!!
I also got the CD. I was guessing it was from visiting the site as well.

Regards,
Maryanne
