🧘‍♀️🚫🔍 Thinking of Trying Yoga for Lower Back Pain? Watch This First!

🛑 Stop Making It Worse:

We guide you through activities to avoid that exacerbate lower back issues, such as prolonged sitting, incorrect lifting, and exercises that flatten the lower back.

💪 Rebuilding Strength:

Learn about simple yet effective movements that can rebuild the strength and health of your lower back, like squats, lunges, and hip hinges, and how to perform them safely.
