Intermediate II

Access this free class
In the first class in Fiji's series on Yoga for Lower Back Care, Fiji spends time on how to activate the core and stabilize the body in order to protect the back and strengthen our natural support mechanisms. This is particularly important in a vinyasa flow, since poses like chaturanga and upward facing dog can be hard on the lower back if not done properly, but it's even more important in daily life when we're walking, running, lifting, reaching and working. The entire program, Vinyasa Yoga for Lower Back Care, can be found on our Yoga Programs page.

It's one thing to know hamstrings connect to the back, another thing entirely to feel it. Great exploration.

Fiji is an inspiration, but I don't think using it for lower back relief is accurate. It doen't give relief to the lower back if you have an intermediate pain to the back starting out.

Amazing class! I have tight hips, but that didn’t hinder me in any way in this practice. The juicy stretches and smooth transitions calmed me and my body down wonderfully
