Join us in Thailand for our most exotic retreat yet! | |  | HEAL YOUR BACK THROUGH YOGA | Back pain impacts millions of people at one time or another, whether from a specific injury or from long-term poor posture. Most of us sit too much and as a result, our spines become compressed, our muscles and connective tissue tighten, and then we are hurting. We tend to store emotions in our tissues and if we don’t create a release, physical tightness and strain can result. Whatever is causing your back pain is individual...how yoga helps is universal. When you release physical tension and address muscular imbalances, often an emotional release occurs at the same time and the pain disappears, inside and out. Emotional stress and mental anxiety stored in our bodies can cause physical pain and yoga helps us relax our minds and hearts. This week, we have six practices designed to give you a spinal tune-up and help prevent future pain. These classes are not for the time you’re in acute pain after a recent injury, instead, they are appropriate for when you’re ready to begin gentle movement. So try some yoga to address the root of your back pain | | | | YOGA FOR A HEALTHY BACK |  | Yoga and Mobility for the Back | | | Michelle Berman Marchildon | | | | 35 min | | | | | All Levels | | | | | | |  | Feel Alive Series: Spine in Focus | | | Elena Mironov | | | | 45 min | | | | | Adv.
