Today’s question comes to us from Lena via email: 

Dear Melissa:

My name is Lena Holmes... I follow you on facebook and instagram and you follow me back on IG (naturallywildphotography). Anyways, I've been doing your yoga classes for a year and I love them.. They totally got me into yoga and it's safe to say that I am addicted now! However, as of recently I have a huge problem, which is why I'm emailing you.

7 years ago I got into an accident and very severely broke my collarbone. The break never healed properly and is only held together by scar tissue. It has always given me pain but it was just a daily, normal dull aching. However the effects of the break are not only on my collarbone area but also my shoulder and arm. Well as of recently I believe I re-injured it and due to this fact, I have chosen not to do yoga out of fear of injuring myself even worse. 

So what I'm wondering is do you have a class, or you can you create a class that would be friendly to people who have had shoulder/arm (or in my case, collarbone) injuries, while still getting most of the physical body benefits from yoga?

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Sincerely,

Lena Holmes
