    I have severe neck stenosis (3mm), along with herniated disks at every level. Surgery became imperative, but it is so vitally important that I engage in yoga consistenly.

The inner wisdom of our bodies will guide us to be gentle and will let us know if we try to overdo it. We will finish serene and relaxed, and will be very glad we did it!
