Love Your Lower Back

​functional yoga therapy for a resilient lumbopelvic-hip complex.

Here are the top 5 key points of the course:

  • The pelvis as the origin of movement: You will learn that the pelvis, not the vertebral column, is the engine of movement. This understanding helps you align your body better and avoid lower back strain.

  • The importance of preserving natural curves: You will discover how maintaining the natural curves of your spine prevents unnecessary stress and pain, especially in the lumbar region.

  • Balancing stability and mobility: You will understand how to balance stability and mobility in the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex, allowing you to move with less pain and more control.

  • Functional relationships in the lower back: You will gain insight into the interconnected relationships between your lumbar spine, sacrum, pelvis, and hip joints, learning how movement in one area affects the others.

  • The role of emotional and psychological factors in pain: You will explore how emotional stress and psychological factors can contribute to lower back pain, adopting a holistic approach to healing.
