Do you or your students struggle with tight hamstrings, sore knees, hips that just won’t open, or back or neck pain? Is there an effective way to deal with these conditions through yoga? There sure is.
Most pain is foundational, resulting from imbalances in the musculoskeletal system. Yoga can correct these imbalances in a relatively short time with the practice of appropriate postures to stretch or strengthen targeted muscles. This tutorial will teach how to identify the most common misalignments and to develop a quick and simple approach to getting back into balance to reduce or eliminate the pain. You’ll learn the five major muscle imbalances; specific poses and sequences for low back and neck pain; which poses to avoid for those who have these conditions; the best way to stretch; and simple breathing and meditation exercises for stress and pain relief.
