Discover the missing keys to
help you find lasting back pain relief with yoga.
Do you struggle with recurring back pain in spite of your best efforts?
Does the source of that pain remain a mystery?
As a yoga practitioner over 50, do you worry that yoga may be contributing to your back problems? If you have tried yoga classes with some positive results yet can’t seem to get over the hump to lasting pain relief in your lower back and hips … listen closely.
Practicing yoga without a back care perspective can actually lead to injury. And with so many different approaches to yoga, it can be difficult to know which approach would best help you find relief and sustain your back health.
Over my 35 years of teaching yoga . . .
Over my 35 years of teaching yoga and specializing in yoga for back pain, I have been able to identify the information that most people are missing when it comes to addressing a balanced yoga practice for back health.
When I started my yoga practice in 1979 I was interested in yoga to help me manage physical and emotional pain. Little did I know that a horseback riding accident that happened when I was 16 would come to the surface. After three years of practicing yoga, I found myself experiencing more back and hip pain than before I started yoga.
I did not know where my mystery pain was coming from, even though my yoga practice seemed to be following alignment principles. What I learned was how yoga can uncover physical imbalances and old injuries that were never properly healed.
After years of study, I developed an approach that combined physical actions with mind-body wisdom to relieve my back distress, practice yoga with renewed energy and intelligence, and live a vibrant life through my 50s and beyond.
So when life interrupts my practice and discomfort does arise, I know exactly what to do to return to stability and ease, and now you can too!
My goal as a seasoned yoga teacher . . .

That is why I am excited about sharing this information with you to help you tap into your own inner wisdom, gain new understanding, and start feeling better right away.
I will share with you the missing keys I’ve distilled from years of study and practice that will help you find back pain relief and approach your yoga practice with confidence and intelligence using your body AND your mind.

“In a yoga practice, observing and sensing are critical for developing awareness and discernment so you can respond wisely to the needs of your body. The alignment principles are also necessary as they provide a framework for understanding the sensations of the body as part of self-study and to help us gain mental clarity for informed action.”
