Therapeutic Yoga for Back Health with Diane Saccone (In-Person and Virtual)

Therapeutic Yoga for Back Health has been designed for anyone living with back pain. In this workshop, we will discuss how body mechanics along with stress is the cause for most of our back pain. We will review poses to reduce pain, help heal injuries and learn ways to keep back pain at bay. A workbook will be provided.

Body mechanics and proper alignment play important roles in healing back pain.

In this workshop, we will learn how to release and properly stretch and tone stressed joints, muscles and fascia so that the body works more efficiently and we reduce the risk of back injury and re-injury. 

The mind also plays a big role in back pain.  We will discuss how stress and breath can negatively affect the health of the back and how to use the breath to heal back pain. This workshop is designed for anyone living with back pain or injury and is perfect for all ages.  A workbook will be provided.

Please note: 2 CEUs will be provided towards Yoga Alliance.
