INTRO
I retired at 64 when I developed Osteoarthritis and Spinal Stenosis. Injections did not help. I see my pain doctor every eight weeks and take a very low dose of medication each day. To prevent further deterioration I restarted my Yoga practice from over 40 years ago. I now practice not only Ashtanga Yoga Asana but all eight limbs of Yoga which includes concentration and meditation. I've also adopted many Indian cultural practices including diet that has resulted in my losing 26% of my body weight since retiring four years ago. I now can wear the same size clothing I did when I was in high school and college and a restoration of energy and zest for life.
