Back Pain is one of the most common causes of disability. Good news! Studies show back pain responds well to Yoga.

In the vast world of Yoga, what type of practice or class should you choose to support your spine? This series is designed to experience & educate the practitioner on types of Yoga practices that support the spine, and which ways of practicing may not.

This class is designed for beginners or seasoned practitioners. Already taking Yoga classes? Great, in this class you can learn ways to protect your back during other Yoga classes.
