After a diskectomy in 2008, I began doing physiotherapy and realized that the exercises I was tasked to do were yoga poses. At $60 an hour for physio vs. $10 yoga classes for the same amount of time, I enrolled in yoga classes. I am still with the same instructor all these years later. When the occasional sciatica rears its ugly head, I know what stretches to do to keep it at bay. Since the start of the pandemic, my yoga classes have been on Zoom. The convenience of not having to travel to a studio and be with maskless people, has certainly outweighed the occasional correction from the instructor. I have good balance and flexibility and really relish my 3 classes a week.
