Sedentary lifestyles, poor posture and over use of the lower back can all lead to strain and poor health in the lower back. 80% of people in the world suffer lower back issues at some point in their lives. A third of people in the UK have some kind of back issue, every day
With these facts in mind, I'm now running 6 and 12 week yoga for lower back health courses. These courses aim to support anyone with mild or moderate lower back pain. We cover:
What to do when your lower back is bringing you pain
Posture and how to use it to limit back pain
How to mindfully stretch, create length and stretch the body in relation to healing the back
How to strengthen the core without compromising the back
How to bring more awareness and confidence into the body and mind
How to breathe more effectively
The course encourages positive long-term lifestyle and behavioural changes. It addresses other 'bio-psycho-social' aspects that may be affecting back problems; eg joint and muscle pains, arthritis, stress, mood, anxiety, tention, return to work strategies.
