Yoga for Healthy Lower Backs Course

Yoga for Healthy Lower Backs is a specialised, evidence based, 12 week course for people with chronic lower back pain, those who have experienced back pain in the past and want to avoid another episode and anyone who wants to maintain a strong, healthy back for the future (so pretty much anyone!). Supported by extensive research carried out by the University of York and Arthritis UK, the course is a holistic mind/body approach to back care. The yoga is a gentle mind/body approach, effective and enjoyable back care tailored to each individual. The course is perfect for beginners as well as those with yoga experience. Please get in touch if you would like further information.

“I would highly recommend the Yoga for Healthy Lower Backs course for anyone with lower back problems. Each class builds on the one before, starting gently and building flexibility and strength over the weeks. Catherine herself is a wonderful teacher, offering encouragement and support. I loved it and it has allowed me to become more active again, aware of my body, and confident in its capabilities.” (Course participant).
