Yoga for Backcare & Posture
This class addresses Yoga for back pain, back care, posture, and joint stability. This class is great for those who want to work on alignment (you don’t have to have a back issue!) and for those with herniation, scoliosis, sciatica, spondilolysthesis, degenerative discs, etc. Focus is on poses that alleviate back pain and strengthen the core, back, and other areas. Appropriate for students new to Yoga and for students who prefer an alignment-based practice. Both Beginner and Advanced practitioners deepen their understanding of alignment, lengthening the spine and safely strengthening the back, core, and other areas (you don’t have to have a back condition to join - we all have spines!).
