Yes I too wear Dansko Shoes and have for over ten years. I work 12 hours at the hospital (walking 90% of my day) caring for patients. I also wear them in regular life. They come in great patterns and because they last for years without breaking down, unlike typical athletic and walking shoes, they end up being a better investment. My knees and hips don't hurt when I wear them all day.

I'll start with my question and then tell you a little about myself because I feel like I know you from your videos and so it's only fair that I share something with you, too. Not that it matters. But that's how I feel since I run around the world talking about "Adriene" like you're my best friend. My question is: Where DO you get your yoga pants? I admire how neat and original so many of them are in your videos. Where do I go to get nice yoga pants that don't break the bank?

As promised, a bit about me and how I found your practice: I have been practicing yoga for about 8 years or so and I was using Dave Farmar's power yoga podcasts for my home practice until I discovered you in May 2015. I originally thought that your practice moved too slow for me (I started yoga-ing a couple times a day beginning in 2012 after I got a nasty stress fracture in my tibia and so I was trying to do a fast-paced hard-core super duper power exercise to replace my 60 miles a week--ha!), but I came back to your channel one day when I began adjunct teaching and was so tired and time constrained that I felt starved of exercise. Then you saved me from going off the deep end. I quickly came to love all your videos and I even continue with my own thing when your videos end... I just keep going, making up whatever I want. I think that's really special that you can get people to do that. Huckleberry, my dog, always comes and lies by my yoga mat (or on it) while I am listening to you so I think that's a good sign too.

Anyway, thanks for keeping me sane.

I am 56. Besides regular maintaining a regular Yoga practice, doing planks and back stretches to keep your Core and back strong, I also recommend wearing Dansko Shoes. I wear them 12-13 hours a day as I work in a hospital and am on my feet for most of my shift. They make huge difference. No back issues.

I am 53 and started practicing yoga with your videos about 2 months ago. I have a job where I stand up all day and am finding that, I guess due to gravity, my lower back is really sore by the end of my shift. My shoulders and chest are really sore and stiff sore also. When I get out of bed in the morning I feel like I am 100 years old. lol What kind of yoga exercises can I do at work to help with all the stiff and soreness without having to get on the the floor to do them. lol Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ohhhh girl, I love that you stay on me for that skeeter blog. I'm going to stop what I am doing and post that NOW. <3
