pain cases haven’t a specific cause. Studies show that staying active
mitigates back pain within 4 to 6 weeks of injury. For this reason, Yoga
Therapy focuses on simple & pure, awareness-based movement & breath
exercises, in ones own pain-free range of motion, to help you lay low back
pain faster and forever. If you suffer from low back pain and wish to learn
how to eradicate it, or to create a home based practice to help you prevent
back injury, then this workshop is for you. What participants will learn:
low load exercises to build core stability
