Back pain is the most common reason to seek medical attention. Many conditions cause back pain, ranging from injury to infection to simply twisting the wrong way. Also, both acute and long-term stress can lead to muscle tension and exacerbate back problems. Yoga has consistently been used to reduce stress as well as cure and prevent back pain by enhancing strength and flexibility.
The Yoga for the Back workshop will guide you through different sequences of yoga poses to help reduce stress and to prevent/alleviate back problems. Often times, when practicing correctly, even with 15-30 minutes a day, you will see noticeable improvements in your condition. Hurry and register today as space is limited!
