Did Yoga for Back Care help?
Back Care Maintenance is here to help you keep your back in great shape and to keep increasing your strength, mobility and ease. Find the support you need to continue your practice in this new 8-week series. This series is especially designed for students who have completed a Yoga for Back Care series and want to continue with their practice. The class is open to drop-in and open enrollment students, but the instructor's approval is required as is registration for the series.
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.
