Although I'm an anatomy based, technique based teacher, the reality is, what works for us one day may not work for us the next. This practice is me sharing with you what has been working for me lately to remedy low back strain. It involves abdominal strengthening, hip opening and twisting. Try it out. See if it works for you!

This is a super gentle practice for days when you just want to stretch, release and open. Maybe you're feeling low energy, you might be on your cycle or fighting a cold or just needing a practice that's all about nurturing yourself and calming your nervous system. Lots of deep, mindful breathing, just enough slow flow to approach the shoulders, hips and hamstrings with the desire to release any tension - physical or emotional. We end with a soothing meditation. Be gentle with yourself. Sending you love, yogis.
