Yoga is about being where you are, noticing. Be sure to take from a reputable teacher. To avoid injury, you need to stretch with awareness of the whole body. I also feel like I'm starting from scratch. Though I didn't suffer such serious injury as you. I'm approaching it holistically and philosophically.
