Many people in sedentary societies have weak back muscles, making them prone to back injuries. We need back strength not only to help prevent pain and injuries, but to improve posture, and make challenging yoga poses more accessible. In this class, we’ll briefly look at the anatomy of the back muscles, spending most of our time practicing poses to build strength. The sequence will start with easy poses, gradually adding challenge as we build to harder poses, so each person can work at an appropriate level for their current condition.
This is not a therapeutics class, and is not recommended if you are currently dealing with a back injury.
Props: Mat, block, blanket, chair
