For Back Pain or Those who Want Gently Healing YogaYoga for Healthy Lower Backs is the top complementary therapy for low back pain according to Arthritis Research UK. The University of York trial found a 30% improvement in back function over normal care and 8.5 fewer days off work per year. Money back guaranteed to help. In total this is a 12 lesson course. I break it into two 6 week courses. It is for anyone with backache (whether lower or uppper) or who wants a gentle therapeutic course of yoga, e.g. to overcome stroke or stress Yoga For Healthy Lower Backs Courses Part 1 Friends Meeting House, central York.

If you can't make some of the sessions, it is still effective, or you could top up with private lessons. It is not essential to go to all of them to get a benefit, (though regular practice is best, including home practice). If you cann't make the course time, let me know and I'll put you on a list of people to send information about future courses. This course is evidence based. You are strongly recommended to buy the educational resources - the Yoga for Healthy Lower Backs book (£16.99) and Relaxations CD (£12.99) of which I am joint author.

"The back care yoga sessions were very helpful, and improvement of my back already became apparent in a few weeks!
The yoga sessions do not only benefit my back, but also my mind through the relaxation. The yoga teacher is very knowledgeable, explains it
all well and creates a pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommended!"
