While back pain is one of the most common causes of disability, the good news is that back pain responds well to yoga. This 5-week series is readily accessible for newcomers and seasoned practitioners to build strength and flexibility while easing lower back pain.
Led by Yoga Therapist Amy Gaster, this small group setting allows for modification and comprehensive instruction that empowers, educates and equips the practitioner with specific types of yoga that support and nourish the spine.
Attending the complete series is encouraged but single class drop-ins are welcome, space permitting.
