Beginner's Yoga for People w/ Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis?
I'm looking for recommendations on DVD's for beginner's Hatha Yoga. I want something that is relatively slow so I can learn basic poses and work on strength and flexibility.
I'm a 33 year old female with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Systemic Lupus. I do walk and lift light weights, but I feel I’m lacking in strength and flexibility. I did yoga a few years ago, but right now I'm not able to keep up with vigorous classes. I’ve pretty much forgotten everything I learned.
I looking for something I can use daily or at least few times a week. I would like to be able to have the basic poses I can work on and use anytime I need. I have limited energy, and I want to continue to be able to walk so at the moment I don't really want anything too vigorous. I would like to learn the basic poses again and continue to build on that.
I would also be interested in any links or online programs people find helpful.
Im sorry i do not know of any DvDs you can watch and workout to. If you have cable and tivo there is a show on at 6am on the Oxygen network called Inhale. Its a hatha yoga class/workout show, about 45 min long. Each day its the same group but the routine is diffrent. They hold each pose for a little bit.
They do not go into detail on structer, the insteructor will call out a pose and they will move into it, he will tell quick what to not do, and point out someone who is doing it right.
because you have done yoga in the past this maybe good for you to try, its free (if you get the channel) and you can always watch it once and see if its something for you.
As for something to purchase, again im sorry. You can always google it. This sounds strange but you can always look for 'yoga for kids' or something of the sort. I believe something like that would teach in detail how to move into each pose and be really slow and light on the joints.
Another appoligy, i do not know of your conditions (symptoms of) so i can not give full advice. But after reading what i have sugested im sure you can see if its right for you.
