METHODOLOGY

Compression of the lumbar discs can contribute to a wide variety of back conditions including:

• disc bulging
• herniation
• degeneration
• sciatica
• arthritis

Compression can arise from long periods of sitting with poor posture and weak muscle support. In the Full Back Class, our focus is to improve support while decompressing the discs by:

• strengthening the abdominals with 5 progressive core practices
• comfortably lengthening the hamstrings, quads, adductors and psoas
• exploring simple range-of-motion of the hips
• relaxing in a gentle spinal rotation
• practicing hip and spinal extension

Beyond the mechanics, we set the rhythm to achieve:

• a deep internal focus
• mindful movement
• awareness to remain well within one's comfort zone

All hallmarks of yoga. We also relax between practices to consciously observe and release protective holding patterns to enhance benefit.

***** "Exactly what I was looking for!" by (: i love you :)
This app focuses on simple movements that make the back feel great. As a 20 year who has previously had back and knee surgeries, I am impressed with the difference it makes in pain and muscle relaxation. Wish I found this sooner!
