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.

Thank you Fiji, this class was spot on. I'm a skater, and get recurring lower back pain from tight hamstrings, illiopsoas, and just plain old getting old and creaky. After my latest bout of pain, I've promised my body regular yoga practise to counter the tensions of skating. I suspect this class will be a regular in my repertoire.
I've been hiking for the past few days and my lower back and hips have felt very tight - this class helped to soften some of that tightness and loosen up my creaky hamstrings. Essential maintenance work for those of us who like to be active! My lower body was challenged by the longer holds in the deep chair pose and I loved the Fiji's reminder that we are generating heat in order to melt tension - a very nice image to have to help me breathe through some fire-y moments. Thank you
I did this workout thinking it was for beginners and found it quite challenging. But thanks to the great cues, it went surprisingly well. Very enjoyable, thanks!
Thanks for this class. Great focus on my weak spots :-) with a lot of helpful explanations.
