I think I’m doing something to aggravate my si joint. I would love to see classes to help/not aggravate the joints

Can you expand on that? What positions/movements seem to aggravate it?

I’m really not sure which poses aggravate it but the classes for back care seem to help. Maybe twists which I love???  
Just thought since yoga can either hurt or help you could direct me to the right classes.

Thanks. You are right - yoga can aggravate or help, depending on the issue and what type of classes you are doing. It’s so hard to make any recommendations without being with you in person, but it does sound like you’ve got some of it figured out. I would say to keep trying classes, and go with the feedback that you are getting from your body, especially the next day. Does that make sense?
