Yoga For Low Back Care

Yoga Mayu, Saturday, June 29, 1:30-3:30pm. Yoga is supposed to be good for your back, right? Only if you’re practicing with healthy alignment. In this workshop we’ll move through a sequence of “low back candy” poses that provide release and relief, and we’ll address common mis-alignments that can aggravate this injury-prone area. We will also go over ways you can modify your practice in your regular classes if you’re already experiencing low back pain. You’ll leave with the tools you need to sustain your yoga practice for many years to come. All levels are welcome! If you have an existing low back injury, please check with a health care professional before signing up. Cost: $25. Sign Up Now >>

Check out my blog: It’s an archive of poses, transitions, flows, and quips that I’ve picked up attending yoga classes and workshops with a number of different teachers. Every now and then I’ll use my academic knowledge and resources to write a post about what science has to say about yoga. My goal is to share clear, concise ideas with other teachers and committed yogis. I try to keep my explanations pretty quick to leave the exploration up to you! Visit my blog >>
