Now that my shoulder is pretty much healed, I’d like to get back to doing more yoga. Unfortunately, I have quite a lot of arthritic changes in my wrists and other joints. I met with.paulina on Instagram with her website Chronically Friendly Yoga. I asked her four questions about yoga and arthritis, and she kindly wrote out some answers for me to share with you.
Question #1. What type of yoga is best for arthritis?
Question #2. Which poses can I do if I have arthritis in my wrists and fingers?
Here is a video of Paulina demonstrating these modifications for downward dog pose:
Since this video is pretty quick, you can click on settings on the right below the video to slow it down as needed.
Question #3. How does yoga benefit people with chronic pain?
If you would like to hear more of how yoga has helped Paulina with her rheumatoid arthritis you can listen to this interview below:
How Can Yoga Help People with Chronic Illness? Paulina’s Story
Question #4. What changes can I make to prevent or lessen stress on sore joints?
Also, Paulina has made a video about warming up our wrists before starting a yoga routine. You can watch that here:
Finally, if you would like to try Paulina’s 7 day free course, you can start that here:

So, I hope this post has given you a place to start with yoga if you have arthritis. If you wish to consult with Paulina you can do that here: https://linktr.ee/with.paulina
Health Update: My repeat chest xray on Friday, 10/16/20 was completely clear of pneumonia, and any masses. Woo Hoo! Thank you, Jesus!! I’m still struggling with fatigue, but that’s to be expected after pneumonia.
Also, please help me keep this blog up and running. Even a couple dollars will help. You can donate here: https://ko-fi.com/upbeatliving Thank you!
