Yin & Somatics: Simple Practice for Low Back Pain
Show Notes

As a Movement for Healing Coach, I work with a lot of people with chronic back pain.  While every client is different, there are some go to practices that I find are very helpful. This practice is a distillation of some of the strategies I use with my clients; Somatic work, Yoga, mindfulness and light, experiential education. It's a bit shorter than my average episode as well, since I want to make sure you can fit this into a busy day if needed.

My hope is that this practice will be a go to for you if you suffer from back pain. My goal is always to get my clients moving and learning. If you would like a full library of practices for doing just that, check out my Shift Membership. Every practice is pain aware and/or pain care. So it's perfect for you if you know you need to get moving, but want to feel safe and supported as you do so.

For this practice, all you need is a blanket to rest your head on. You can even do this practice in your bed if you choose, just make sure your head isn't too elevated. A bolster or pillow may be useful for one of the poses as well.
