Yoga for Back Care

What is Yoga for Back Care?

Yoga for Back Care is a simple and accessible yoga practice for people of all ages and abilities. Its aim is to improve the health of the spine and maintain strength, flexibility, balance and mobility for optimal well-being both on and off the mat. Yoga for Back Care’s aims:

• learn how to modify poses and use props to adapt the practice to suit your body

• find out more about your spine, its anatomy and function, and how it interacts with your whole body

• explore optimal alignment for your postural health

• ensure you always work within your pain-free range of movement

• learn breathwork and simple relaxation techniques to release physical and mental tension that can contribute to back pain

I trained in Yoga for Back Care with the osteopath-led BackCare Foundation because I have experienced lower back pain on and off since adolescence and I wanted to practise and teach yoga in a way that would improve rather than exacerbate my pain. As well as teaching practical, accessible yoga techniques this practice also teaches us about mindfulness and acceptance of the natural aging process and how to work realistically with our bodies in a healthy, functional way.
