This class is designed for the 90% of people who have ‘non specific’ lower back pain. It is designed to include postures specifically chosen to strengthen the lower back and core as well as release muscles such as the iliopsoas. The goal is to have all the muscles in the pelvic region, lower back and core to work harmonious to reduce pain and unnecessary tension. Keeping this area of the body healthy helps prevent the pain from becoming worse and more debilitating.
What to Expect
A safe space to explore practices designed to relieve your lower back pain.
Back Strengthening Poses
Baby Cobra, Full Locust or a gentle standing back bend.
Core Strengthening
Short plank holds. Not many peoples favourite pose but a strong core is essential for a healthy, pain free lower back.
Breathing Practices
Breathing using your belly may be a crucial tool in relieving your lower back tension. It helps massage the fascia and releases tight muscles that can be causing your lower back pain. If you think of stress causing your muscles to contract and create tension in the body, coupled with the breath being effective in activating the relaxation response, it’s a lot easier to understand why this is such an important step in helping relieve your lower back pain.
Sample Class
-
Take a few moments to settle into the space. Then learn how to breath in a better way. Diaphragmatic breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system through the vagus nerve. Breathing in this way also massages the connective tissues in the lower back, helping to loosen them up. Afterwards you may feel more relaxed and ready to settle into your practice.
-
Gentle warm up followed by poses specifically chosen to target the lower back region such as cobra, hip openers and postures that strengthen the core.
-
Poses and breath practices designed to relieve lower back pain. This part is crucial for your lower back. Expect the last 3 - 5 minutes to practice mindfulness meditation as this has been shown to be effective in managing chronic pain.
