YOGA FOR BACK CAREwith yoga therapist Aggie Stewart, RYT-500
Summer is one of the most active times of the year filled with all kinds of seasonal recreations and opportunities to be out and about, enjoying warmer weather and longer, light-filled days.
Does general low back pain interfere with your ability to enjoy all that summer has to offer? Are you in the 50% of the population that experiences chronic backache?
Yoga can offer relief -- that is, if it's the right kind of yoga.
Breathing Time Yoga offers the only yoga class in the Ocean State that is specifically designed for back care and teaches yoga practices that have been studied and endorsed by the National Institutes of Health.
In this series of gentle yoga classes, learn simple sequences that were tested in an NIH study and found to be more effective than Physical Therapy or a book on exercises for low back care.
Each class consists of asana (physical postures), pranayama (breathing techniques), relaxation, and instruction in body/breath awareness. Each student will complete the series with a solid understanding of yoga practices that stretch and strengthen the low back.
Through a regular practice of therapeutic yoga, students may reduce low back pain and minimize reliance on pain-relief medication, improve quality of life, and reduce the number of doctor's visits. Appropriate for yoga students of all levels, the series introduces both seasoned practitioners and beginners to the appropriate application of yoga therapeutics.
