Relief begins with attention
Back pain can cloud your ability to be present. Gentle yoga offers not just physical relief, but also a mental reset. This practice invites you to move slowly, breathe intentionally, and reconnect with your spine from a place of care—not force. When the body softens, the mind follows. Through mindful stretches and meditative awareness, healing becomes a whole-body experience.
This sequence uses reclined twists, supported forward folds, and gentle spinal movements to decompress and calm. But it’s not just what you do—it’s how you do it. Moving with breath awareness brings the nervous system into balance, easing both muscular tension and mental restlessness.
By shifting from "fixing" to "feeling," you allow the body to speak. And in that listening, pain begins to dissolve—not just from tissue, but from tension held in silence.
The meditative body
When movement is slow and intentional, it becomes a form of meditation. In this practice, each gesture is a pause. Each breath is a cue to release, not to perform. You’re not stretching to get somewhere—you’re stretching to return to yourself.
Supporting the spine, supporting awareness
Props and positioning provide safety so you can relax fully. A rolled blanket under the knees, a block beneath the hands—all these create ease, which in turn invites mental stillness. When the spine feels supported, the breath flows more freely, and inner spaciousness unfolds.
Relief through presence
True relief doesn’t come from “doing more”—it comes from doing less, with more attention. This sequence helps you rediscover softness, so you can rest in your body without resistance and invite peace into places that once held pain. Breathe. Ease into the present. And let your back—and your mind—unwind.
