Yoga for Lower Back Pain: Strengthen, Stretch and Relax Your Back I
4034 Followers
David has spent much of his adult life understanding how to heal his lower back pain. In this class, David takes you through a beginner level yoga class that shows you how to strengthen your core to protect your lower back (including the transverse abdominis), how to use yoga stretches, or poses, to heal the lower back and how to use relaxation to speed up the healing process. The lower back stretches alone can cause great relief and the three approaches together will ensure that it lasts. This is the first of a 2-class series. The second class is Yoga for Lower Back Pain: Strengthen, Stretch and Relax Your Back II.

Dear David, I am acquainted to DYWM since more than 5 years. I pushed myself a lot for a while, doing Fiji's intermediate classes but now I am calming down as I have some back problems. I am suffering from annulus fibrosus tear on L5S1 disc and from a grade 1 spondylolisthesis, I did your class and I managed it but still want to ask whether you believe that this class is appropriate for me. Thank you in advance for your reply.
Best wishes.
once again,I enjoyed the benefits of your wonderful website. After a day hunched over a lifetime of photographs , on dining room chairs I knew my back could get some relief. and it did. when I am going over the list of things I am grateful for in my life, access to all the wisdom on this website is right up there. thankyou.
I had a bit of hesitation even getting to the floor. But having done this class, I already feel relief. I can't wait for tomorrow! Thank you David.
Ultimately I want to learn how to get back into my yoga without ending up in this situation. Even the smallest about workout, which I need, sets me up for lower back pain. This is why I've gone all the way back to Beginner 1 and your Back sessions. I'm trying to restart safely and mindfully.
This made a huge difference after only one session - thank you. And a good reminder for me that I do not need to do 'intermediate or advanced to experience benefits , the beginner mind always wins :)
