About 2 years ago I started seeking treatment for low back pain. I won't go into all the different things I've tried but at some point along the way I stopped going to yoga because so many different movements hurt so much.
Well, here I am without much success treating the pain and finding articles like this one about treating lower pack pain and decided to see if yoga could help rather than hurt. I've only been a few times (I don't get free classes here and what is available does not work very well with my work schedule). Obviously, there's no instantaneous relief but even if my back isn't feeling better I'm feeling better. I had forgotten how much of an impact yoga has.
I'll be really super beyond happy if it helps my back (because nothing else has) but even if it doesn't I'm glad to be back on my mat.
Have you found any alternative ways to treat back pain? How has yoga helped you?

I Have Too Much Stuff
All my earthly possessions are here and have been for a month. I haven't unpacked all the boxes yet. I have too much stuff. I know I wanted my stuff but now I don't. I mean, I want my bed and a couple other things but the rest...it's amazing how quickly I can dirty a whole sink-full of dishes!
Before my stuff got here, I was able to clean the kitchen in 10 min. Now...lordy how I can make a mess and a massive amount of things to clean. By the time I'm done I'm too tired to clean it all up.
I'm not saying I want to go back to having one bowl, one spoon and one fork but I'd like to find some sort of happy equilibrium where I have enough so that I'm not super restricted in what I can do but not so much that it becomes too much. I don't know what that looks like. I like being able to cook all my meals and snacks for the whole week and have them all in the fridge (its a squeeze in my tiny European fridge here). I'm not really sure what I could get rid of. Hoping I can find a way to simplify the kitchen...somehow.
If you have any suggestions please let me know!
