Yoga for a Healthy Back

Yoga relaxation and movement are some of best ways to help an aching back heal. In this Yoga for a healthy back class you will learn therapeutic yoga poses that focus on soothing discomfort caused by chronic back pain. Beginners welcome.

Weekly themes each month

Week 1
•   core work for inner strength and spinal stabilization
•
  standing poses to build stamina, and develop strong, pliable legs and hips

Week 2
•   seated poses to release the hip and leg muscles
•   forward bends for a supple back body
•   twists for freedom of movement in the spine and trunk

Week 3 
•   back bends to strengthen the back and improve posture
•   inversions for strong shoulders and to support the physiological body

Week 4 
•   restorative poses for deep physical and mental relaxation
•   breathing practices to soothe the nervous system and quiet the mind

Themes are subject to change. If there are five weeks in a month, the fourth class is teachers choice and the fifth is restorative/pranayama (breathing exercises).

Yoga & Movement Therapy

Yoga and movement therapy exercises can provide relief from an array of chronic health issues. They can be used as a stand alone therapy or to supplement physical therapy.
