Some people that are doing well legally live beyond their means. When the shit hits the fan they get desperate.

I have had consistent low back pain for years and this has solved it. Initially it caused my hip to start dislocating but cured the back. Now everything is feeling better. Stretch! I plan to go 3-4 times a month.

Low back yoga? Never heard of it. Maybe I should try it.

Low back yoga? Never heard of it. Maybe I should try it.

My class is called Bliss Yoga and the teacher calls it "sacral" yoga, like your sacrum.

I poked around online and didn't see anything exactly like it. It's pretty "groovy" and I'm the youngest guy there at 40. Works great though.

DB Curlz
25 x 10 x 3 <--some serious body english last set. I think I'm causing the bros some cognitive dissonance. They think I'm a beast when I'm on the platform, and snigger at me doing weak light curls with great effort on their turf (dumbbell section).
