Hi Esther!
My back feels great, and I’ve only done this once…I can’t wait to see what a whole week will do for me! Thanks for a great website. I haven’t found a site where the person tells and shows you everything you should do AND shouldn’t do to have perfect results the way you do. It’s like finding a good dentist, someone who will tell you exactly what you are going to feel and when, haha.

Thanks so much!
Maura

Hi Celia,
You could do it three times a week up to every other day, if you have stiff upper back. Observe what feels ok to your body!

Hi Esther,
I’m young, still in school, but this goes well for me. I’m only wondering, when I’m holding my hands up for a little longer, it feels like the blood is going back, and it tires them. Is it normal, or am I supposed to do this another way?
Thanks, Irina.

Hi Jennifer,
Wearing heels really is bad for your feet and back, I’m afraid! However if you must wear them, wear them as little as possible and buy yourself some yogatoes. They are great and especially helpful for painful feet as a result of wearing heels.
Let me know if the toes are working for you in a little while! Obviously to be safe you should check with your doctor!
Be well,
Esther

hi Paul,
The best thing you can do for yourself if you stand all day at work is shoulderstand at the end of the day, working your way up to holding it for 25 breaths. If shoulderstand isn’t right for you somehow you can do legs up against the wall. Just lying on you back with you bum against the wall and legs up for 10 min or more. This will let the blood flow back out of the legs and will prevent veins and that kind of problems!
Check out this video for instructions http://www.yogatic.com/yoga-video/shoulderstand-2/
alo there is a description of the pose on the website with a picture if you look under poses.
hope this helps!
Be well,
Esther
