Yoga for a Healthy Spine woman-doing-yoga-urdhva-mukha-savanasana-with-help-of-chair

Spinal health is essential to overall wellness and healthy aging.  A spine that can flex, twist, and extend maximizes energy and breath and prevents back pain.  Good posture is intimately related to good function, which is the basis of a healthy, supple, and strong spine.

This specialized class will include a series of poses intended to lengthen and strengthen the spinal muscles, alleviate back pain, and support a healthy spine.  It is appropriate for those who are new to yoga, new to working with back issues through yoga or those who prefer to move at a slower pace.  Suitable for all levels of students and individuals with injuries, muscle strain and back conditions such as herniations and scoliosis.

Monthly Healthy Spine class  •  Saturdays @ 2:30
