Thank you! This brought immediate relief from upper back discomfort and pain I've had for days. Your yoga videos have helped my pinched nerve issue over the past year. Thank you!

Hey, Thanks for the great videos. I have a case of tennis elbow or also called forearm tendonitis. Pretty much the extensors are inflammed and I have very weak grip because of it. Also my upper back seems to have some tightness and pain. Would you recommend this program to help heal my tennis elbow?

Hi Sam.

Thanks for the question.

I would think that this class would help with the your tendonitis and tightness in your upper back. I would recommend seeing a doctor or physiotherapist first to see if it's suitable for you. If you are unable to and would prefer to try the class, do it gently the first time, to see how your body responds.

I hope that helps.

I can't remember when my shoulders and upper back have been as relaxed as they are now after this class. Great feeling!

Great video both for back strength and flexibility, and for relaxation. I started yoga because of chronic pain, with particular tension and spasms in my upper back and neck. Very appreciated!
