I found these poses on youtube - the only one I had trouble with is Malasana - I used the high step for support to get into the pose (more or less) - it was somewhat painful - should I pursue this one? Any suggestions on how to build up to doing this correctly?

That's a good video Mandie linked to. And yes, the last two poses are seated wide leg stretch and seated "butterfly" stretch with the soles of the feet together.

Thanks. I followed what she did in the video and did not have trouble getting into the deep squat - I can't go all that deep but maybe that will improve with time.
I think what I was doing wrong was trying to get into the pose from sitting on the ground. She shows it starting from standing. So stand up after the cat/cow pose ! |

Hi. I saw your thread and since I also deal with weak SI joints, thought I would let you know what hurts and helps me.
What hurts: walking up hills, impact exercises, long bike rides and heavy lower body weights all irritate the muscles around and the SI joints. I have been in PT off and on for almost 3 years (after trying to find a diagnosis for 6 months). I still do my stretching daily to keep the joints unlocked. What I have learned that helps: no impact workouts, lighter lower body weight, Cathe's low impact series, using the pool, the hot tub, and focusing on what I can do instead of what I can't! Good luck. Beth |

I also did a new post about cardio suggestions. But I will ask here, too. Beside regular walking, what type of cardio DVD's can you do? TIA

Crazy, right? Yes, it can be done in three minutes, and potentially makes such a difference. I am doing it at least twice a day and holding the stretches longer so it's five minutes each time. Gosh, how do I fit it in?! If it helps me from feeling pain all day long, I will gladly take that time!
