Queen of stupid questions here :rolleyes but if I have surgery on friday do you think I will be able to do yoga by Wed?

I would normally skip it but I am trying to keep up appearances as I do not want people to know about my surgery. So if I miss Yoga my friends will wonder why and.... well I am sure you get it.

Anyway just wondering if I should start thinking of a story now or if it is possible to do my downward facing dog and cat stretches.

Thanks Drewslou. I really enjoy yoga. Too bad I am going to miss it for a couple weeks it seems. I guess I will have to take it slow and steady before I stretch myself into trouble. Thanks for the advice one yoga fan to another.

actually pushing a mower uphill is strenuous... it requires the entire abdominal wall

sou should be careful with that!!!!!! u don't want to get a hernia

if you do yoga you would see what I mean....and if you do do yoga and you don't see the difference I question what type of yoga you are doing

Didn't mean to get YIKEAS and YOWZA'S. I WAS JOKING! I thought I may have hit a cord with a REAL YOGA GAL. Look at my first post. All I said is I was able to go back to doing the things I did prior. If you do yoga on a regular basis I think it is different than if you just want to start a class a week after surgery. I didn't make the statement so I would get KUDO'S for being SUPERWOMAN, it was just the truth. I thought maybe you wanted opinions from both sides. SORRY TO ANYONE WHO I OFFENDED, I WASN'T TRYING TO COMPARE YOGA TO LAWN MOWING. I was just trying to translate that I felt great after surgery, and everyone is different. SORRY AGAIN!

hmmmmm I was not on the attack. yeeeesh. I too was exercising (elliptical and biking very very soon after surgery - since I was doing it prior to)....I was only answering Dame J's question and wanted to point out the difference of doing cardio with that of doing something that will involve a LOT of ab muscle work, such as Yoga!!!! The emphasis was on yoga because that was her original question. Don't take it so personally...it wasn't an attack.....(you'd KNOW if I was attacking you!!) (besides which I'm Canadian and don't do go on the offensive!). I know lots of ppl get up and get moving right after surgery (myself included) but I wanted to make sure she knew the difference between that and doing crunches (as an example!).

Holy Moly.
