Yeah, me too for both statements. I practiced yoga for some years, then didn't for a year when my gym stopped it. So I switched gyms and have now practiced yoga for a bit over a year. It does help, but I'm stiff anyway and always have been. Worse, I've also got genetic scoliosis of the lower back so it is a challenge. But it never hit me like this until last week. Industrial strength, i.e. prescription anti-inflammatory drugs like piroxicam helps too but you can't spend your entire life on them.
