Healthy Back Yoga: 7-Week Practice to Relieve Back Pain
The healthy back series uses yoga practice as an approach towards healing acute and chronic back pain. This course is suitable for all ages, levels, and anyone who is frustrated with back pain.
Whereas back pain sufferers may not find general classes appropriate for their needs, this class provides a slow-paced, safe environment to accommodate healing yoga postures suitable for each individual.
By learning to find comfort in our bodies and release tension, we start to investigate the origins and causes of our pain. By addressing our habits and mis-alignments we can bring more awareness to creating new movement patterns.
The asana(s) (yoga postures) will be a blend of gentle and relaxing techniques but also include postures to build core and strengthen the back and spinal muscles.
The emphasis during class will be on finding comfort in the body, rather than performing intense or advanced yoga stretches. The goal is for students to take home their own sequence of exercises to practice daily.
*Please obtain a doctor's consent prior to enrolling in this course.
Reviews From Healthy Back Yoga Students
“I want to thank you so much for the Healthy Back class online. I currently have a extruding disc and a vertebrae that is 11 mm into my spinal corridor. I am on pain meds and doing all the things with Chiro, RMT and PT while waiting for a root block and surgery. Your class has been a lifesaver for me and I thoroughly enjoy it. I appreciated reading your story as well. Thank you.” — Moira
"I had experienced debiliting low back and sciatic leg pain since June 2014 when I strained my back while gardening… I tried physiotherapy several times per week, laser therapy, traction, massage, and was prescribed Lyrica to help with the pain. These treatments provided only mild, temporary relief. Finally in April, after being encouraged by a friend, I tried your Healthy Back Yoga Sessions and miraculously I experienced immediate pain relief. By participating in these classes as well as the Therapeutic Classes I have noticed steady improvement with my back issues and have an overall feeling of well being. Consultation with an orthopedic surgeon in June indicated that surgery was not necessary as I am currently symptom free." — Sandy Barns
