This highly effective program is based on the two largest, most definitive studies utilizing yoga therapy for the treatment of chronic lower back pain.

This 6-week series offers a particularly gentle form of yoga, with a strong focus on individual adaptation and breath development. You will learn yoga poses, basic anatomy, breath work, and how deep relaxation helps alleviate chronic low back pain and tension. We will explore the relationship between neck pain and back pain, as well as how tension in the jaw and shoulders may contribute to chronic discomfort.

In this course, we take a deeper look at the breath and relationship to chronic pain. This style of breathing compliments the Essential Low Back Program, and is based on scientific research by Robin Rothenberg, the creator and author of the Essential Low Back Program. This breakthrough type of breathing helps calm the nervous system, builds inner core strength, and improves overall health.

Each student receives individualized attention and the practice is extremely accessible for all body types. This enhanced course (the next stage of healing) is appropriate for new students and returning students who wish to continue working toward reducing pain and healing. This series is taught progressively and intended for students of all levels and abilities.
