I've just joined today. I have OA in my hands, knee and shoulder. I didn't realise how restrictive this is until I tried a yoga class yesterday. I used to find it quite easy but now my left leg refuses to bend so I can't do the movements. Do you think perseverance will make it more flexible? Thanks

Hi @CambridgeAnnie,

Welcome to the forum.

I've certainly found doing daily exercises for my OA of great benefit so would highly recommend it.

If you go to our website and use the search bar you'll find lots of exercises for hands, knees and shoulders. Here are a couple of examples:

I hope the above help with your yoga classes.

Best wishes
