Yoga is an excellent therapy for healing sore and injured back muscles, reducing recovery time, and preventing re-injury. Yoga helps alleviate lower back pain by strengthening and stretching the muscles of the lower back, reducing inflammation and increasing circulation of blood and prana. 

For an acute phase of pain, yoga is not appropriate for 48 hours or until the acute period passes. Any movements that increase your symptoms should be avoided. It is always a good idea to seek medical advice before beginning a yoga practice to find the cause of the problem, and then work within your limits, taking precautions recommended by your specialist.

The Spirit Yoga Health Series is a collection of yoga books designed to benefit a particular health concern & made into an easy to follow class. Yoga is designed to promote balance and unity of body and mind, and it can help to improve breathing, circulation, digestion and hormone balance throughout the body. These books are informative & made into an easy to follow class with concise instructions and an image for each pose.

These classes mostly use traditional yoga poses and some yoga therapy exercises that are based on bringing energy (chi or prana) to the meridian channels located through-out the body. These yoga classes bring balance to your body and life so you can function with ease.
