Back and neck pain help through yoga
Back and Neck Health based on therapy approach which will help to restore comfort and posture.
Do you experience back pain, neck tension, or the effects of poor posture? This new class offers a carefully structured approach to relieving discomfort, improving mobility, and restoring alignment.
Led by an experienced Iyengar Yoga teacher, the workshop combines precise instruction with the intelligent use of props to make each pose accessible and supportive.
✦ What to Expect:
Clear, focused guidance rooted in the Iyengar tradition
Safe adaptation of poses using props (blocks, belts, chairs)
Gentle sequences designed to release tension and build spinal stability
Targeted support for conditions such as:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Sciatica
- Neck and shoulder stiffness
- Poor posture and muscular imbalances
- Discomfort from prolonged sitting
We will look at general aspects to help everyone, rather than individual symptoms and cases. This workshop is suitable for both students and teachers but teachers will benefit from the time being classed as specialised training.
