To be young or elder is not regarding to the age, I see it is up to our thinking.

I agree. Our thinking and what we do with our body.

Yes, the main challenge related to get healthy body is food. I watch a doctor saying the big question is not what we should eat but it is what we should not eat.

I don't know what I would without my yoga practice. It keeps me grounded emotionally and physically the benefits to my joints and muscles makes it a necessity...Yoga relieves the soreness and stiffness of middle age.

I've made nice progress with Locust Pose...thank you for your Dancer's Pose prep sequence 🤎

This week I've added Crow back into my practice. So good!

Well, I could talk yoga for days, but the point is I appreciate your posts, so valuable 🤎

Thank you! I am so glad yoga has benefitted you so much. Me too. Locust is the best way to get into backbending poses, Camel pose is coming soon. 😊

This is great, but I am feeling discouraged today. I have been practicing yoga, I am active, a healthy weight but yet the cartilage has worn out on my knees bone on bone arthistis started at 54 I am now 56. I am doing what I can. I used to think arthritis and bad knees were someone's fault. It isnt. There are things we can prevent this one I could not. A previous injury when I was younger accelerated this

this. I do pt and yoga. I am a dog walker. I don't give up. Yet after a short walk my knees are sore and swelling. Yes I will need new knees soon and I am fighting to get one because of my age. I look fit but I have the knees of an 80 year-old and that suck. My gel injections wore off and my insurance won't cover

Oh, there are those days... pain can wreak havoc on the body/mind/spirit.

It can. There definitely is a mind/body connection and snow is coming. My body knows before I do

It sure can.

Arthritis is definitely not your fault. Sometimes it's genetic, sometimes due to injury or previous surgery. Acupuncture can be enormously helpful for the pain until you can get a replacement. I'm sorry you are having to deal with this, pain like that sucks. 💜

I've done acupuncture for years for allergies and chronic sinus issues. I have knee pain that comes and goes. For ongoing back pain, I broke down and invested in an incline board. I don't know if it helps knee pain. Check with your PT. But, for me the investment was wll worth it.

Incline boards are great for back pain.

I love mine. My acupuncturist recommended it.

Acupuncture really helps with the pain, swelling, and inflammation. I have had great success with it. I bet there is someone in your area who can help.
