Therapeutic Yoga: Lower Back & Sciatica Support

Description du service

A focused therapeutic yoga practice for the lower back, hips and surrounding areas, created to encourage mobility, comfortable movement and greater awareness of the spine. Every session follows a complete yogic practice. We begin with Sūkṣma Vyāyāma (subtle joint and mobility practices) to gently prepare the body, followed by carefully selected āsanas for the lower back, hips, hamstrings and supporting muscles. Prāṇāyāma is incorporated where appropriate during or toward the end of the practice, and we finish with meditation and relaxation to allow the body and mind to settle. Especially suitable for those experiencing lower-back stiffness, tight hips, prolonged sitting or sciatic-type discomfort, as well as anyone wanting to care for their back through a slower and more mindful yoga practice. The therapeutic focus remains the same every Wednesday, while the practices can vary and progress from week to week. 75 minutes · All levels welcome. And for consistency, every therapeutic class on the website can follow the same underlying structure: Sūkṣma Vyāyāma → Therapeutic Āsana → Prāṇāyāma → Meditation & Relaxation Then we change the actual movements, postures, breathing practices and emphasis according to the therapeutic focus of that day.
