Yoga for arthritis. I ordered it online. Easy and gentle. Tiny bit sore next day, not excruciating!

I just today started a yoga video. It's Christian based and for beginners. Wish me luck.

Hi - yes, I have tried yoga and it was not only hard for me to do the poses due to pain, but also difficult to balance. However, I did try chair yoga and that seems to be the best alternative for me. I can still over-do it though and then pay for it the next couple of days. I have recently tried pilates because most of it is done lying down - I am getting some muscle work done and not much repercussion the next day. I have lost so much muscle tone it is even hard for me to open a jar now! Sheeeesh! I try to get outside to walk a bit everyday but I live in a pretty wet and cold climate so in these winter months I haven't been sticking to that very well :-( I encourage you to try chair yoga - hope it helps you :-)

I have just started gentle swimming with a pool noodle to keep me afloat. I clench my fists when doing breaststroke so that my wrists and hands don't hurt during or after. It is helping loosen me up and I feel good about it afterwards
