A note before we start
If your back pain is sharp, sudden, radiating, or accompanied by numbness, please see a doctor before starting any new practice. Yoga is a long, slow ally — it's not a treatment for acute injury.
How yoga helps with chronic back pain
Most chronic back pain is not structural. It's the body's protective bracing pattern locked in over years of sitting, holding, and not breathing. The work, then, is to teach the body it's safe to release.
What helps
- Alignment Hatha — Iyengar-rooted, props-led. We hold long enough to actually unwind. The most useful single class for chronic back pain.
- Yin & Breath — long, supported holds for the connective tissue around the spine and hips.
- 1:1 sessions — for a specific pattern (one side, low back, mid-back, neck-and-shoulder).
- Yoga Nidra — for the nervous system layer.
What we won't do
- We won't push past the point of comfort.
- We won't ignore your pain to look like a yoga pose.
- We won't promise it'll be gone in three weeks. (It might be. It also might be six months.)
