An essential guide to soothing and strengthening your whole back.  Two 45-minute sequences target the back's major problem areas to help student's build awareness both on and off the mat.

Renowned vinyasa flow teacher Annie Carpenter provides students of all levels with the tools they need to learn how to release tension and prevent injury in the neck, back, and shoulders. These are essential poses and methods for achieving and maintaining a strain and injury free back.

Neck, Upper-Back Shoulder's Saver
The first sequence will strengthen the upper back and shoulder girdle, providing the stability you need to keep your neck pain and tension free. The sequence will leave you feeling relaxed yet supported from the inside out.

Lower-Back Reliever
The second sequence teaches you the optimal alignment for your lower back while sitting, standing and moving. You will stretch the hips and thighs, strengthen the small muscles that support the spine, and twist to create balance in the back. Unravel aches and pains as you find proper postural alignment once and for all.
