About the Class

Are you experiencing pain in your lower back? If so, this class is for you. Backaches can be caused by a handful of things. We’ll cover one reason today — lack of core engagement.

While working at my desk or cooking dinner, I recently noticed that I’m splaying my ribs open and that I’m arching my lower back (also known as an anterior tilt of the pelvis). This causes my lumbar spine to ache. And so, I find myself craving stretches that lengthen the muscles in and around my back — just like the ones we’ll do in this 30-minute yoga practice. Join me, won’t you?
