I am editing the above answer. You can do yoga, but make sure the teachers are aware of your condition. If any postures invoke the disk related pain, do not do them, or ask for modifications so you can practice without pain. You might find that styles of yoga that include a lot of forward bends are not for you. Backward bends may alleviate your pain.

It means a small portion of one of the bones in the spine is bigger than it should be. C5/C6 are at the base of the neck, just above where it joins the body.

From what I see in your question, you're talking about the bones in your neck called cervical bones. For the #'s you gave, it would mean there's narrowing or lack of a gap between cervical #5 thru cervical #7. (5-6-7) That's most of the way up from the base of the neck on the backside. Narrowing of spaces where there's usually gaps is caused by wear & tear and aging usually and when the cushions between the bones are shrinking from wearing down or the aging process the consequence is narrowing. In this case on the left sides of C5 thru C7.

While humans and other vertebrates have a spinal column that runs down their back, or dorsal side, earthworms possess a nerve cord consisting of two strands that runs down their belly, or ventral side. The nerve cord of an earthworm relays impulses from receptors in the worm's anterior to posterior parts of its body.

Yes. Your rotator cuff holds your shoulder in place. Any tear will cause great pain raising your arm above your head, problems sleeping, etc.
Unfortunately, surgical procedures are usually the only way to fix it.

I cannot provide a professional response but I do have some experience regarding this. I have been fighting a kind of back pain for over a year. It had been very hard to diagnose and treat. Physical therapy didn't seem to help, neither did yoga. It was not showing the signs of being an injured disc. Exercise never seemed to help either.
I recently had my appendix removed and surprisingly all those back problems have disappeared. No one has mentioned a link between the two but for whatever reason the back pain stopped almost immediately after the surgery.

The spine has several sections, each denoted by a letter. Starting from the top, C=cervical spine (neck); T=thoracic spine (upper body); L=lumbar spine (lower body); and S=sacral or sacrum (just above the talbone). (There is also the coccyx, or tailbone, which in most is one solid bone, and has no specific letter denotation.) Each section has multiple bones called vertebrae that are numbered. There are spaces in between each vertebra called discs. These are circular pieces of cartilage filled with a jelly-like material called the nucleosus pulposus. These discs serve as a cushion between the bones, and are crucial to allowing the spine to flex and bend freely. Discs are named by using the position of the vertebrae that "sandwich" it, in this case, L5,S1 (the 5th lumbar vertebra and 1st sacral vertebra). Dessication means drying out. So, in layman's terms, the disc in the lowest part of the lumbar spine has dried out, which means that the it is less able to provide cushioning from the bones during movement.
