It’s possible to start building a healthier and bouncier back right now with yoga therapy. In this four part program, you can explore movement safely and build up to full core workouts.
The yoga therapy approach is about small changes in movement patterns repeated frequently. To use this program, plan to spend about 20 minutes a day, maybe two times per day. Focus on each video on its own for awhile, even weeks. You’ll know when you feel your body is ready to progress. Rushing, and doing all the videos at once, is counter productive.
Let’s get started.
If getting to the floor is too painful, do these movements on your bed. These are safe, basic ways to mobilize your pelvis and hip joints. The spine rests on this important foundation. We can progress to more back exercises after a couple weeks in this stage.
Moving on to mobilizing the spine…
There are six basic movements of the spine. This short routine will help you explore all ranges of motion, carefully and without load bearing. This is an essential step to feeling out your body in this moment and learning how to get through your day safely.
Feeling more confident? Let’s start strengthening.
The core is the area from the pelvis up to the armpits. In this sequence, we’ll work on integrating the front, back and sides as well as the all important fluidity of your diaphragm. Wait until you can complete the previous practices pain free before progressing to core strengthening.
Level Two is waiting for you when you are strong enough.
It’s essential that you take your time through this program. Make sure you’ve completed a week or two of level one before proceeding. More is not necessarily better!
