Love Your Low Back - Yoga Workshop

Love your low back is a must for those craving an in-depth look at how to support pelvic lumbar health reducing pain and moving in the world with greater range of motion.

In this workshop we will explore a variety of drills and fundamental exercises for core strength, spinal stabilization as well as advanced massage techniques to release muscular tension. This class is perfect for beginners and advanced practitioners looking to improve core strength and increase spinal flexibility and soothe their low backs.

To begin I will briefly review anatomy and potential causes of acute low back pain and misconceptions. First we will explore various postures + how to anchor the pelvis and learn how to sit and stand well. Class will be segmented into 3 areas of focus strengthening, stretching and soothing. The first 10 mins will be overview and sharing basic anatomy, 15 mins of gentle rolling exercises with massage therapy balls, 30 mins dedicated to strengthening and moving through drills, 30 mins of stretching followed by 10 mins of restful postures to support recovery. 15 mins of buffer time for transitions, questions and discussion after movement.
