Those of you who have taken yoga from me for awhile have probably heard me mention that many of the postures in yoga are often used by physical therapists and other health professionals to rehab and strengthen the back. I was just looking through a magazine today and saw yet another "back health" article and guess what? Only one stretch on the list was NOT a yoga posture! They might call them something new, but yup, it's yoga!
So next time you are on the mat, whether you have back concerns or not, know that you are doing something that not only improves strength, flexibility, and peace of mind; you are also working on all the muscle groups that support posture and a healthy back. No time to get to class today? Surely you have a few minutes for cat/cow, some bridge rolls and a spinal twist!
Remember the saying, 'you're only as healthy as your spine.'
