Yoga for Back Pain Relief
Yoga for Back Pain Relief, Chronic or Recurring Back Pain
(shhhh, it’s yoga!)
Instant Stress Eraser The economy is in the dumps. Gas prices continue to shoot upwards.
It’s winter. It used to be vacation time. If only you can take a vacation from stress.
Now you can. Right now while you read this post.
Sit up straight and take a deeper breathe than you normally do. Hold it for a second or two, and let the air out with a sigh. Go ahead. No one will notice.
Now, do it again. Take a deeper breathe than before. Hold it for a moment or two and just… let … it … go.
Most people tend to breathe very shallow in their chest. Shallow breathing promotes stress and tension. Deep breathing melts it away.
In a few minutes of deep breathing, you can actually eliminate all stress and tension, lower your blood pressure, and instantly gain a lot more positive attitude.
My name is Gail Pickens-Barger and I teach yoga Online/In-Person and Classes on YouTube. Forget what you’ve heard about yoga. You do not have to twist yourself into a pretzel to do yoga. It’s for everyone. Whether you are in shape or not.
And the benefits are immediate.
It’s winter so this is the best time to get started eliminating your stress with yoga.

I teach for Veterans Yoga Project (VYP)in their Online Yoga Studio. One of the more popular classes for folks that have some issues with their back tissues is the Gentle Yoga for Low Back Care Class, hosted on VYP online yoga studio.
I teach this class at 12:30 Central Time (think Texas). A sixty-minute class on Wednesdays It is geared towards beginners, and I also give alternative yoga postures for those of us, who do not wish to get down to the floor–so keep your chair handy!
Gear you’ll need for this class is a block, a strap, and having a chair, and blanket it nice too. Don’t forget your yoga mat, if you have a slippery floor surface!

Typically we start out on our backs or seated on the chair for those of you who want this option.
