Service Description

A 6-Week Yoga for Spinal Health Course 12th March - 23rd April (no class on 9th April) Sort Out Your Back takes a broad, compassionate and science-informed approach to back care. Pain is influenced not only by muscles and joints, but also by the nervous system, stress levels, movement habits, and how safe the body feels to move. Over six weeks, we work gently and progressively to restore trust in movement, release unnecessary tension, and build the kind of strength that genuinely supports spinal health. This course combines therapeutic yoga, somatic movement, mindfulness and modern pain science to support lasting change. Together we explore: Body awareness Understanding how you move and where you hold tension often creates the biggest shifts in comfort and ease. Nervous system reset Persistent pain can keep the body in a protective, guarded state. Through breathwork, rest and slow mindful movement, the body learns it is safe to soften and move again. Unwinding somatic movement Gentle, exploratory movements help release deeply held muscular tension and restore natural spinal mobility without strain. Understanding pain You’ll learn accessible, science-backed insights into how pain works, helping reduce fear and rebuild confidence in your body. Mindfulness practices are woven throughout, supporting relaxation, emotional regulation and a calmer relationship with movement.
