Yoga for Neck and Shoulder Pain | Health Tips | Video | Veria Living

[karlesism]

Hi Veria,

I am currently recovering from a mastectomy. Subsequently my attempt to reconstruct failed due to radiation treatments following a lumpectomy 5 years ago. I am a 2-time survivor. After the Latissimus muscle and skin grafts to create flap for my breast, the layers of muscle that overlapped my shoulder was compromised. I am just able to place my hand on my hip and slide it to the small of my back. Are there any exercises to restore the shoulder muscles?

Thanks a lot! I hope the new season eventually gets a DVD, cuz it's great stuff! Happy New Year to you too!

[Zenstudent105]

I definitely will! I record every episode and do two hours of yoga every other day!

@Zenstudent105 Wow, 2 hours. Now that's commitment! How long have you been practising Yoga?

[Zenstudent105]

@veriawellness I think it's been four or five months. I used to do it off and on for about a year, but I'd drop off after a few weeks. Now I'm crazy for it : D

@Zenstudent105 Have you been watching the new season of Yoga for Life?

[Zenstudent105]

@veriawellness I have. It's much more difficult so far this season than the last one, but I really enjoy the challenge!

[veriawellness]

@Zenstudent105 This season is all about the challenge! :) Keep us posted about your progress.

@veriawellness I do have a question, actually. I was wondering if veria was going to make any more Yoga for Life DVDs? I'm thinking of getting the one out now with the six episodes, because I travel sometimes and I don't want to miss a workout.

@Zenstudent105 You're not the only one asking! We'll keep you posted about it. And Happy New Year!

[Zenstudent105]

I practice flow yoga with Yoga for Life almost every day. It's wonderful.

@Zenstudent105 We love to hear that! Keep an eye on Veria, especially from next week...
