Take care of yourself Emily! Back pain is the worst! I’ve had 2 surgeries on my L5S1 disc and I too probably have another herniated disc as I’ve been going to physical therapy for back pain and knee pain! So frustrating to not be able to get to the mat!

Mayo (MAH-yo) I would love to visit Osaka someday!

Hi Michelle, that’s great you are doing so many days of exercise! I’m 66 and I aim for 3 days a week of M/Body and when I make its a good week, but between back and knee injuries it’s often just twice a week!

I hear you, Marisol! So done with this year, so much stress the past 2 months, which is probably why I haven’t gotten to the mat as much due to back and knee pain due to the stress!

Happy birthday Tanisha! Rock and dance your way through the 50s!

That’s beautiful! What part of Japan do you live in?

Congratulations!!! I know how difficult this journey is as my daughter is also pregnant after several years of trying, fertility specialists, procedures and a miscarriage! So excited for you!

I don’t have scoliosis, but have had 2 microdiscectomies on my L5S1 discs and have flare ups due to that and probably arthritis. I have had to change how I work out as I age and have to modify some workouts so that I don’t end up injuring something! I find the best thing for managing stress that causes pain is working out! The best thing for me when I do have a flare up is acupuncture. Sending you love and healing thoughts ❤️

Ah Roma❤️, was there in 2018 and lived there for 3 years as a child, when the Trevi and Spanish Steps and Vatican were never crowded!
