Next Cohort: January 5, 2025-February 23, 2025
Do you have tightness or pain in your low back and hips?
Do you feel like you can never relax your shoulders and take a deep breath?
Do you have headaches, migraines, poor sleep and/or digestion, can’t focus, feel lack of energy and motivation, can’t relax your body & mind?
Did you know that releasing chronic tightness in your back can help you solve these and many other issues?
When I was nine years old, I had a traumatic injury (that changed the course of my life). A neighbors’ dog bit me on my behind and dragged me for a few blocks. Although I didn’t have any broken bones, this injury affected the alignment of my spine and hips, caused several bulging intervertebral disks and led to many years of chronic pain in my back, right hip and leg. For almost twenty years, I couldn’t sit for more than thirty minutes at a time without overwhelming sharp pain in my lower right side. I struggled to stay focused in school because of the pain; I couldn’t drive for longer than 20 minutes without having to stop and stretch or have a job that required sitting. Practicing yoga in a therapeutic way helped me change that and I can’t wait to share what I’ve learned with you all!
Back pain is very common. Our unique approach to yoga gently stretches and strengthens your back muscles, which helps reduce muscular tension, build flexibility, and improve balance and bone strength. The slow movements and the continuous focus on proper breathing improve the emotional aspect of back pain relief by lowering stress and alleviating symptoms of anxiety and depression. Learn more below!
