This is a vodcast that I recorded specially for a student who has a slipped disk in her lumbar spine. In general this is a gentle class that most everyone can participate in. However, if you are dealing with a different injury your program should always be tailored to fit your specific needs.
While your back pain persists if you have a slipped of herniated disk in the lower back there are a few things to remember when you are practicing yoga:
*Do not bend forward past 90 degrees with straight knees.
*Avoid all seated forward bends. (which there are none of in this class)
*Avoid rounding your back. (you will notice we are doing a lot of small gentle arches in the lower back which will help ease the disk back towards its correct placement)
* If any pose causes pain, tingling, or numbness, stop immediately.
Be sure to modify with blankets, blocks, straps and any other props that you need.

“I tweaked my back today and this helped me quiet it down. Thank you for the help.” – James Hayward
“I did this again today and it really seems to be helping. I especially love the way you talk through the healing attributes of breath at the beginning. That is a great reminder for me that I can pull from anytime I need a little length and tension release in that area. It’s so great to have this to relieve any issues I am having and I so appreciate you sending. I will definitely try to do more of your podcast classes…I feel like it might be just the trick to help me get to a goal of making yoga part of my everyday life. It is really hard for me to get to class sometimes but this will be an awesome option. You are truly an excellent teacher. I feel lucky to call you my friend!” – Liz W
