ouch, I hope your neck feels better. There are some yoga exercises that have helped me with pinched nerves (I am prone too).

is the yoga a preventative measure, or more after-the-fact? i'm interested either way. i'm getting some relief from my own home remedy (see today's post), but it's definitely the kind of thing that you can't have too many treatments for.

I think yoga could be after-the-fact.

Also check out Alexander technique, it´s esp. for injuries. Many yoga/pilates places have some combo classes that combine yoga, gyrotonics, Alexander, etc. that you might find helpful.

i'm familiar with the alexander technique from my years in music. there were classes in it at oberlin, in fact, although i never took one. i have a friend who teaches yoga - i'll have to ask her about some exercises. plus, she sometimes teaches with piper pirabo, who's pretty damn hot, imho. hmmmmm..........

thanks for the boobie!
