Cure Your Arthritis
After 43-Years of Suffering with Arthritis I Shocked My Doctors

When I Naturally Cured My Arthritis...
Without Expensive Medication Or Surgery!
And I Know You Can Do The Same!
Yoga ANYONE can do,
I’ve been interested in trying out yoga, but my flexibility stinks and my joint strength is sub-optimum which is a real shame because I’m only 30. I saw Peggy Cappy’s special on PBS. It showed her yoga class: a group of senior citizen ladies. Some were doing modified yoga exercises. Others were doing the un-modified exercises. Well, it was inspiring to me. If these ladies could do yoga and benefit from it, surely I could benefit from it too.
Peggy does a great job explaining breathing and demonstrating the exercises. It’s terrific that some of her students do modified versions of the exercises, so you can keep up with the video no matter what your physical level is. The exercises are modified, primarily, by the use of a chair. So if you can’t bend to the floor, no worries. Or if you’re unsure of your balance, again, no worries, the chair is there to hold onto if you need it.
The video is divided into 20 minute work-outs: stretches, poses and the Sun Salutation. You can do the whole thing at once or you can do the 20 minute segments individually.
I don’t think this video would be challenging for folks who are proficient in yoga or for folks who with above average flexibility, balance and strength. But I think it’s great for beginners, old and young.

|Yoga with a Chair,
I saw Peggy Cappy on Public Television during the December 2003 fund drive. I was impressed with her ability to teach yoga to a diverse group of students. The class is primarily attended by persons over the age of 50 years that have limited mobility. Peggy uses chairs to enable students to stay safely on their feet while attempting unfamiliar ways of moving their bodies. The video covers most of the basic standing poses (tree, triangle, warrior I and II, downward facing dog, upward facing dog as well as a simple sun salutation). this is a must have for yoga teachers and for all others that have joint stiffness, limited mobility (because of age, infimity or weight). She has said it most aptly, Yoga for every body.
