S. 3 | Ep. 5

Welcome to this week's episode: Yin Yoga and Spine Health.

This was a requested topic, and it’s something I encounter often in questions like, "My student has lower back pain, what sequence can I give them?" or "How do I address back issues in my classes?"

As a Yoga therapist with a specialty in back care, I’ve worked with individuals suffering from back issues for many years, and I’m excited to share my experience with you.

So what you can expect in this episode is first, we're going to break down the nuts and bolts, just very brief overviews of some of the most common back conditions that might happen that might show up in your class.

Then we're going to talk about what can be problematic actually for a lot of these back conditions in Yoga classes.

And then what we might do about that, and then I'm going to give you a framework for how you could create a class for a healthy spine, like a healthy spine class for Yin Yoga, not for people that have back injuries, but for the general public who are just kind of sore and tight.

Hop over to my blog to see the full show notes. There you'll see 3 images of alternative Back Bends to Sphinx and Seal.
