I understand. It is difficult for me. I try to avoid pain at all costs. Maybe this is the problem! But I don't like feeling horrible all week...

Maybe I'll try another type of yoga, maybe hatha, just to try it out. Something "slow" like this one (iyengar), since cardio-like activies aren't for me (I must NOT lose weight). I know every one of us is different, but can I ask how much it took for you to do it pain-fee? Months? Years? :(

Hi everyone. I am 32 years old and I'm from Argentina. I started with symptoms last year, on May, before a major trip. I was bedridden for a fortnight. I thought I had plantar fasciitis and sciatica (back, leg and feet pain). I have no idea how I managed to pack the suitcase and go. My first...
