Yoga Therapy

This short video should be watched before you start the programme. It gives general information about the course and what we will do.

It helps you get the most out of the programme, and it explains who it is for and who will benefit most. The programme works on the spine, posture, core strength and the breath.

This is where we start. We feel into our bodies and start small with the movements, releasing tension from spending too long at a desk or a computer. We begin to address spinal mobility and strength with accessible exercises.

Part of the practice is learning to relax and let go of muscular tension.

A mix of simple yoga exercises and physiotherapy movements, all for the health and strength of the spine.

You learn how to move the different parts of your back one by one, and you start to form a connection to your posture.

By now you are becoming familiar with some of the movements and learning more about your own body. This class builds on what we have done so far and continues the work in the same way, developing things bit by bit.

We are building a strong, stable house with our body.

We go deeper into some of the movements and spend more time on the strength building exercises.

You have built a good foundation, and we continue in the same way, with spinal twists and bends, while developing the core strength the spine needs.

This week we focus more on core strength. We have been loosening up our spines and letting go of poor posture patterns. Now we stabilise them.

Spinal twists and bends are still part of the class. At the same time, we develop the core exercises introduced in the earlier classes.

The final class ties everything together. Once again we work on the most vulnerable areas of the spine, and we complete the core work by training every side of the trunk.

After this class, repeat any of the classes you found most helpful, or pick out the exercises that helped you most.
