Yoga for Back Pain Class at the Growing Green Co-Op

Doing yoga cultivates a balance between the flexibility and strength of the muscles of the body, often the real culprit in back pain. Most people are tight in key areas affecting the spine, for example in the hips and shoulders. A system such as yoga, which releases the tension in the muscles, should improve back pain. Come and learn poses designed to prevent back pain through improving basic spinal flexibility, strengthening the core and the spinal support muscles, and becoming comfortable with the movements that control flexion and extention of the spine.

In this class, yoga instructor Zoraida will teach the foundations for a healthy, supple spine. We will begin with a number of experiential a yogic exercises to align the pelvic and spinal bones and enliven the core muscles. In this class, you will learn how to tap into the therapeutic support of your breath to release pain and flush out old, stagnant energy in your back, and welcome in a new sense of aliveness, calm and comfort.    You are bound to leave with more self-confidence in knowing how to do yoga in a way that is healing for you and a handout detailing several movement progressions to create balance and ease in your everyday posture.  When: October 13th 6-7pm Where: The Growing Green Co-Op         201 New Britain Ave Hartford, CT 06106 860-247-5700 A $5 donation is requested to help support the Growing Green Co-Op.
