@fwintracy Thank you for your comments. I used to love doing yoga and pilates but I can no longer get down on the floor. If I somehow manage to get down, I cannot get up. It's a real problem for me. Are you able to kneel?

@dna41 This would be an excellent reason to work with a PT for a few weeks. One of the dangerous things about aging is being unable to get up from the floor or ground. It is a skill I work on all the time. I may not look graceful getting, but I can do it. Right now I am working on doing it one-handed as my new wrist is in a cast, and will be non-weight-bearing for several months during rehab.
Have you talked to your PT or a Yoga instructor about getting up?
