It's been about three months of weekly classes, and I feel that yoga has been great as part of my exercise routine. There are a handful of more advanced poses that I need to be careful with, but that is no different than any exercise/stretching I am doing these days.

I only added yoga back to my routine once I started feeling confident in the gym with doing weightlifting again. I wouldn't recommend doing yoga if you have not worked your way through the stability/strengthening that most people with TOS end up lacking.
Hi, I have been doing very gentle yoga along with PT for 3 years off and on as well.
I can do Zumba, and walking but I havent gone back into the gym. Can you share what you do at the gym? I'd love to get back ther but am afraid of any arm/shoulder exercises. Did you have someone guiding you?
Thanks, JKL
