Workshop : Yoga for Back Pain
Are you suffering from back pain?
Has your doctor suggested you start yoga?
Or are you a teacher who’d like to learn more about how to support those working with lower back pain?
In the Western world, our lives are increasingly sedentary, and this lack of movement contributes to the likelihood that we’ll experience lower back pain, which currently affects 8 out of 10 of us at some point during our lives.
During this Yoga for Back Pain workshop we’ll learn about our anatomy and how to make lasting improvements to posture and movement, both on the yoga mat and in everyday life.
Join us to learn how to:
• Gently mobilize the joints thereby promoting the natural healing mechanism of the body
• Develop strength, coordination and stability to help us move with confidence
• Challenge our beliefs about pain, weakness and damage
• Reassess our understanding of our bodies as vulnerable and discover the innate resilience of our structure
• Reconnect and restore flexibility and joy in movement
.
This Yoga for Back Care workshop is suitable for anyone with neck and shoulder discomfort, lower back pain, sciatica, sacroiliac instability and general back pain.
Please note that whilst this workshop is suitable for those working with chronic disc issues, this is a class situation and not a 1:1 session.
Anyone suffering from severe or acute disc injury is encouraged to seek the help of a qualified physiotherapist or osteopath before joining a yoga workshop.
.
For all levels of yoga / movement experience.
Can't Make it Live
Video recording option:
MFML will be offering an on-demand playback of the workshop for 14 days afterwards, so you don’t have to miss out! Just book as normal and MFML will send you the link to the workshop recording as soon as it's downloaded onto their system.
Cost
We know that some of you are facing some real cost-dilemmas and we know that sometimes our wellbeing practices are the first to suffer when life gets hard.
We want you to know that we are there for you.
Therefore, all MFML workshops and live events are offered on a ‘Pay As You Can’ basis.
There is a suggested price, which MFML ask you to pay, if you have the means. The suggested price is the ‘true cost’ of running the workshop, and this is £35.
If finances might get in the way of you joining, you can pay what you can afford, and therefore you are still able to join. The minimum that MFML can accept is £15.
