Yoga for the Low Back, Hips and Sacrum


(Yoga series for those suffering with chronic low back pain)

Limit - 6 Participants

This 6-Week series is based on a successful study published in the Annals of American Medicine (2005) where Viniyoga™ was used (a flow yoga style) and resulted in a decrease in pain over exercise and a self-care book for chronic back pain.

Participants are taught yoga poses that promote strengthening of the low back and supporting structures. Function over form is the emphasis. Modifications are given for every pose. The purpose of each pose is explained. No need for any previous yoga experience. Must be able to get on and off the floor. This is not a chair-based practice.
