Yoga for a Healthy Back with Ann West

Ease pain and get stronger

Yoga relaxation and movement are some of best ways to help an aching back heal.
In this healthy back class you will learn:

yoga relaxation techniques to relieve tired back muscles
simple stretches to soothe chronic back tension
traction poses using the yoga rope wall to lengthen the spine and release compression
poses to strengthen the back and core muscles to help prevent future issues
poses to strengthen the legs and arms to better support the back, hips, neck and shoulders

The classes are taught by Certified Yoga Therapist Ann West.

Yoga for a Healthy Back emphasizes safe postural alignment and bio-mechanical action. Students are encouraged to stay within their individual limitations by progressing gradually through different levels of poses. Props are often used to help support and adapt the poses so everybody can practice.

Drop-ins and beginners welcome
Please call ahead if recent surgery or acute injury!

Testimonial

“I am practically pain free since learning your routines. I do them almost every day, at least 5 days a week for 30 to 45 minutes. I can work, and lift, and bike, and hike with much greater confidence and ease. I am not afraid to move anymore. Thanks for your help.” ~ Leland Forester, Photographer. More testimonials.
