PMR and exercise: What helps you?

I've done yoga in the past as well, but I have a confession to make, I found it boring, at least the classes I attended here. Heresy, eh? Through the years, I used a pretty good Yoga DVD from Stott Pilates called Simple Stretches which I did often before PMR hit me bad, and I couldn't manage mat work. Overall I preferred the high number of exercises we did in Pilates classes and their quick pace. Now some of the yoga poses, similar to the Pilates, are contraindicated for those with osteoporosis. I loved pigeon as well, but it's one to avoid with osteoporosis. I have to research a good program of exercises to supplement walking everyday.

I found yoga tedious and boring until a) I found the right teacher and b) I started using music. I’ve now been teaching yoga for 12 years and find it a big help for just about everything.
