I teach weekly gentle yoga for low back care classes for the Veterans Yoga Project. Book my class on Wednesdays to get some sweet relief of easing back pain.
Had a bit of hip/back pain, but well worth the journey. Of course, going up was easier than coming down!
During spring break a few years back, we booked so late, we had to stay in Marfa, Texas. Which turned out to be delightful!
What journeys are you doing for self-discovery, and self-help? Why not try a yoga class? I teach an in-person class on Fridays at LakeSide Event Center in Beaumont Texas. Pretty nice price point too. Only $4 if you are a non-resident of Beaumont. I have several of my students follow me from Jefferson Mid-County come to this class.
A wonderful facility. Clean, and spacious, with a skate park, and a neat lake to stroll around.
Plus the beginners class I teach is an adaptive yoga class. If you need to stay seated, I give you all the poses seated on the chair or standing behind a chair. I also teach you how to get down to the floor with the chair, and get back up off the floor with the chair. This class is geared towards beginners.
I occasionally either at the beginning of class or afterward do an indoor walking short workout, that folks seem to like. And if you laugh at my jokes, we sometimes do a seated cardio dance fitness routine. Y’all just need to check it out!

Benefits of Yoga Nidra.
Great for Beginners to meditate, those of us needing guided rest for better sleep, easing of pain, and more.
So just to provide a little bit of context, and a little bit of predictability, our Yoga Nidra or our Guided Rest Practice is a form of guided meditation. Still, there is nothing for you to do, except to listen and follow the guidance of the teacher’s voice.
Aside from being relaxing, restorative, and restful, studies have shown that yoga Nidra can also:
ease insomnia
decrease anxiety
alleviate stress
reduce PTSD, chronic pain, and chemical dependency
heighten awareness and focus
transform negative habits, behaviors, and ways of thinking
foster feelings of peace, calm, and clarity
reduce stress
improve sleep
help heal trauma
reduce chronic pain
plant seeds for future growth

Interesting Study: New Study Adds Growing Evidence that Yoga and Meditation Can Reduce Chronic Pain. I can attest to that study, as it has helped me with my chronic back pain!
The study echoes previous findings on the benefits of yoga and meditation for chronic pain published in 2016 in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association.
“The bottom line is that patients are seeking new ways to cope with chronic pain and effective non-pharmaceutical treatments are available,” says Dr. Marske. “Our findings show meditation and yoga can be a viable option for people seeking relief from chronic pain.”
