Hi!
I'm Diane, I will be 57 next month, and I am new to AthletaWell. I started to doing yoga (on youtube) during the pandemic and I have grown to really LOVE it! I regret not discovering it earlier in my life, but I suppose it's better late than never 😉 My question is about strength. I practice yoga 4 hours a week and generally rotate between the same 10 online classes (each approx 1 hr in length) with my favorite online instructor. Although my flexibility has dramatically improved since 2020, it seems that I should be stronger at this point, but I feel sometimes that I am actually weaker. I find it challenging to hold certain basic poses (specifically warrior 2 on my left side, as well as standing pigeon pose on my left side). I have been told that I have bone loss of my left hip and maybe that is contributing to this issue? I am wondering if anyone has experienced something similar? Or maybe has some advice for me?
Thank you!
