Dear Roger,
I am 57, have been practicing yoga for many years and have developed pain at the base of my thumb..the joint before the wrist joins the arm. The pinching motion between the thumb and index finger is painful. Sun salutations, down dog, arm balances are becoming increasingly painful, and I have stopped them all. I have substitued dolphin for down dog, but don't create the same heat. Are there any modifications or techniques for hand/wrist pain? Do a you have any suggestions for a sequence to generate heat other than sun salutations at the beginnng of practice? An article on hands/wrists/feet would be most welcomed! Thank you

Stacy McCarthy told me that you help people with sleeping issues. Can you send me a link to your site that talks about this problem? Are there yoga poses that help with insomnia?
Thank you! SBaron

I am very interested to know if Roger Cole believes in the use of inversion slant boards for a sore lower back and sciatica. Many thanks.
