“After 3 months of regularly attending beginner classes at Flametree my back pain disappeared. Even one yoga session gives me more relief than a trip to the chiro or a massage. The use of props let’s everyone give all the poses a go and the teachers make everyone feel very welcome.” (Patricia).

Yoga works because it helps your fascia

Surveys show that one of the major reasons people they yoga, and keep it up, is because it gives relief from back, neck or shoulder pain.

Yoga can offer relief from pain associated with a stiff upper back, a tight mid back, and a tender or weak lower back. It also works extremely well for the neck and shoulders.

One reason why yoga for back neck and shoulders works so well is that these three areas are so obviously inter-connected. Yoga that works for one area will help the other areas as well.

That’s why Flametree offers a weekly class for back, neck and / or shoulders. It’s suitable for all levels of students.

The fascia throughout your body is a key reason why yoga works so well. The nerve endings in fascia also helps explain why neck, shoulder or back issues can be so painful.

Easy yoga works, when little else does

Yoga is very effective and do-able exercise for the neck, shoulders or back. Among other things, it includes lower back stretches, and gentle hamstring stretches.

It is also much more than that. So, try the “yoga classes for back pain near me” deals you’ll find.

Yoga for neck and shoulders and back, also helps you become aware of yourself. For instance, often we are completely unaware of how our posture can produce stiffness in the ligaments or muscles of the lower back, or weak abdominal muscles.

This is important because correcting posture, and mindfully practising suitable yoga poses, can help strengthen the lower back area. It can also help you move more easily and more comfortably.

Improve mental & emotional outlook, plus quality of life

Upper backache, and in related areas, can be a product of a sedentary lifestyle. This includes sitting long hours at the computer, stress, and anxiety. It all causes weak muscle tone.

These classes help you understand how yoga can support your bones and muscles.

You’ll also learn how yoga can also improve your mental and emotional outlook.

We all know that pain impacts negatively on our quality of life. Living with pain affects your relationship with yourself, with family and friends. Many students find Flametree’s backcare classes help them move with less discomfort.

Gently reduce fear 

Those with back, neck or shoulder pain often tend to become very cautious around exercise. So they limit movement for fear of “putting” the back out again, or hurting related areas.

Each week, your yoga class will gently take you through a series of yoga postures that are designed to develop suppleness in the spine and related areas.

The classes are slower paced. There are explanations given as to how certain poses work, and how to adapt them to suit where you are at.

Everyone coming to these classes will also benefit from learning more around how posture and habits can be altered. The objective is to bring more freedom to the back, shoulder and neck areas.

This classes are suitable for all levels of yoga students, both beginner and non-beginners.

Like all Flametree classes, the actual level of postures will be adjusted depending on who is actually in the class on the day. If needed, particular students, or groups of students, are given alternative poses.

The teacher, Chris Lalor, also teaches poses that work partly via your fascia. This is often neglected by other teachers or treatments. For example, Chris has written about working with fascia. She brings that learning to your online or in-studio class.
