Welcome to Wednesday Q&A, where you ask questions and we answer them!

In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about stepping forward successfully from down dog, the hot yoga craze, and moves to avoid with osteoporosis.

Your questions:

* I want to be able to step one foot forward form down dog into a low lunge. I can’t get my foot as far as my hands. Long legs? Short body? I don’t know. What can I do to develop this skill? Strengthen hip flexors? Core? I don’t even know what to work on and it’s a basic move. Feels like my arms are too short and I can’t get my torso high enough for my leg to go through.

* Can you expand on the hot yoga craze?

* Are there any moves I should avoid or modify if I have osteoporosis?

Welcome to Wednesday Q&A, where you ask questions and we answer them!

In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about hip and low back pain during pregnancy, cervical spine arthritis, and misconceptions about exercise and movement practices

Your questions:

* Any suggestions for hip and low back pain during pregnancy? I’m in my 4th month and the pain gets worse from sitting for too long but also from working out. I’m keeping my exercise routine light and easy but the pain flares up, specifically on one side. Yoga, stretching, and even walking doesn’t feel as good as pre-pregnancy because I lost my body and movement awareness. Thanks!

* A long-term yogi & friend (mid-60s) has recently been diagnosed with arthritis in her cervical spine, C2-C5. She has a fair bit of pain & is careful what she does in our LYT classes. In your opinion is there anything that I can do to help her?

* What are some common misconceptions about exercise and movement practices?
