As many as 90% of U.S. adults have low back pain at some time in their life and will visit a doctor for this pain.  Men and women are equally affected.  All of us can benefit from the exercises and therapeutic yoga poses, whether we have chronic back pain (more than 3 months of continuous daily pain) or have recently had an injury to the back.  Even those without pain can strengthen their back and improve their posture, keeping the back healthy for years and years.

When sending a message to a Majordomo mailing list, always use the format of "listname@lists.ithaca.edu". While you may sometimes see an address like "listname@icsun.ithaca.edu", that format refers to a specific server name (icsun in this case) and will no longer work if the server name changes.

Using listname@lists.ithaca.edu ensures that your list messages won't bounce due to an invalid address format.
