Lifetime prevalence of back pain is estimated to be 60 – 70% of the population in industrialized countries. Back pain is currently the leading cause of activity limitation and work absence throughout much of the world.

Yoga therapy has shown to improve back pain, stabilizing, strengthening and balancing the musculature of the back, and may be more effective and longer-lasting than medical treatment.

This workshop will cover common disorders and their treatments for different kinds of back pain, exercises for flexibility and strength, will be given for upper, mid, and lower back, as well as pelvis and hips. Scoliosis, lordosis, sciatica, and hip stability will be addressed.

This workshop is also suitable for individuals interested in back pain prevention. Particularly helpful for people who both have desk jobs, and who do heavy labor and/or repetitive tasks.
