A Pain in the Back (Part 2) - Easing Tightness
Welcome to the fifteenth edition of The Reset. This is a regular monthly offering from me along with A Peaceful Pause.
There’s now over year’s worth of classes in The Reset archive. Just a few previous practices include:
You can find all editions of The Reset in one place here.

Following on from the previous edition of The Reset, A Pain in the Back (Part 1) - Finding Safety, this Part 2 class has a focus on easing some of the tightness that back pain can bring with the help of some gentle movements.
As mentioned last month, I’ve lived with a chronic back condition for a long time and my yoga practice has helped me to be relatively pain-free for many years. Over the duration of my teaching career to date I’ve undergone specific training in back care, worked with clients with particular back concerns on a one-to-one basis and also for eight years I taught yoga for back care to trainee teachers as part of a wider course.
**DISCLAIMER** As with Part 1, this won’t be suitable for every back condition, but if you have severe lordosis and pain that stems from this then the following practice may offer some relief. Do check with your doctor if you are in any doubt.
Props you will need:
A cushion or pillow to support your head and neck
A belt or alternative
