Join us in this yoga series, Yoga for Back Health, focusing on back care and health. We have designed these sequences to help you stretch out sore parts, strengthen weak areas and bring awareness to postural habits that might be contributing to back issues. Learn to take charge of your back health and create long-lasting change!

Yoga is a gentle practice that is ideal for maintaining back strength and flexibility. It's also one of the more effective tools for helping reduce low back pain, the most common source of pain and disability among adults.

For low back pain, yoga can be especially helpful to the muscles that support the back and spine, such as the specific muscles that help you bend your spine, the multifidus muscles that stabilize your vertebrae, and the transverse abdominis in the abdomen, which also helps stabilize your spine.

The benefits of yoga go beyond muscles. The slow movements and the continuous focus on proper breathing can improve the emotional aspect of back pain by helping to lower stress and alleviate anxiety and depression.

This program is also ideal for Yoga Teachers who would like to explore more about how to guide their students safely when back care issues arise. It is also ideal for those wanting to incorporate yoga safely if they are concerned about physical challenges.

An official school-issued certificate is optional for students using the course solely for Continuing Education purposes. This is at an additional cost of $55 USD. This course qualifies for 30 CE Credits.
