The Yoga for Healthy Backs Class teaches methods to ease back pain and flare ups, and encourages a daily practice to strengthen the core, abs and back;  to reduce future injury.  Read your yoga teacher’s blog (Faye) about how her lower back pain  and sciatica affected her.  Faye does not want anyone else to go through the pain and suffering she did, and if she knew the techniques used in this course, she may have recovered sooner and been able to find some comfort.  So these classes comes highly recommended from your teacher and she will know what you are going through.  Please contact us to chat about how we can help you.   We also have yoga videos to support your home practice.

Back pain and discomfort is a common problem. It’s estimated that 8 out of 10 people in the UK are affected by back pain at some point in their lives with around a third of the population suffering an episode of low back pain each year.  It can be debilitating.  Our natural instinct may be to rest and be still; but the best way to improve lower back pain is to keep moving and learn to strengthen the back and abdominal muscles, “the core,” through a series of yoga postures, and to use breathing exercises and relaxations to soften the affected areas.

The Yoga programme has been proven to be effective for chronic lower back pain. It consists of weekly sessions.  The sessions are gentle, effective and holistic – allowing you to learn and implement the long-term benefits of yoga.  Each week has a different focus and techniques are taught, including:  How to alleviate back pain or a back pain flare up; how to lift and move safely, yoga relaxations, and some core sequences to encourage a regular home practice.  Faye focuses on postural improvements, alignment and symmetry of the body, mindfulness and awareness of the body, and relaxation techniques, which are easily incorporated into everyday life. Research from a multi-centred clinical trial led by the University of York found that significant benefits were experienced by the participants who suffered from non-specific chronic and recurring lower back pain.

At the moment we are running these classes once a week for 60 minutes  Do please contact us for further information.  Thank you.

Faye is a specialist Yoga for Healthy Lower Backs tutor. The exercises are all gentle, safe and effective. They are in fact an ideal foundation for newcomers to yoga, even if you only have occasional back pain, as you will learn the basics of most aspects of yoga and you will be taught how to practise simple yoga at home. In addition, owing to its focus on pelvic realignment, postural correction, gentle stretching, strengthening and relaxation, most of the classes are recommended to postnatal women.
