yoga?

[Guest guest]

Hello girls! I'm almost done my little working holiday here in

Vancouver and heading back to Toronto Saturday. I was trying to

think of what I want to achieve this year in terms of treatment and

progress with my VV.

I think one of my main goals in dealing with this is to explore

every non-medical option (no drugs,surgery,physio) before I resort

to other treatments. I'm lucky enough that my boyfriend hasn't put

pressure on me, and being in another city has helped me ignore the

problem for a while. I am moving in with him Saturday, and I guess

I'm a bit afraid that pressure is going to increase with us living

together.

Anyway, I am just wondering who out of this group does yoga, or has

tried exercise as a way of controlling their VV? I'm talking, at

least one or two hours, three times a week. I think this is what I

am going to focus on the next six months. If I commit to it and it

doesn't work, then I may be willing to try medical solutions.

So anyone have advice?

I'm just thinking, since I haven't regularly worked out in about two

years now (since I was hit by a car), this has decreased my

flexibility big time, and perhaps that is why I am getting backpain,

and all these other problems...maybe I'm just too tense. Anyway I

want to rule out the possibility. Please let me know anything that

has helped you. And also, anyone know a good place in Toronto for

yoga? I'm thinking YMCA just because it's close by.

Thanks in advance for the advice,

Miranda
