How Two Simple Yoga Poses Can
Help Mild Back Pain
| |
This twist is great for massaging the internal organs and for releasing tightness in the back. It is also a good preparation for relaxation. 
* Lie on your back with the arms at a T. Lift the knees to your chest and roll them towards the right elbow. Keep the left shoulder on the floor.
* Stay for 4-6 breaths, letting the exhale relax every muscle.
* Go to the other side.
* After completing both sides several times, rest in your back.
Marichyasana III
Yoga Studio South Pose of the Week No. 6 - A Seated Twist with Studio Director Rob Walker
Marichyasana III is great for relieving back pain and massaging internal organs, in what yoga master BKS Iyengar calls a "squeeze and soak" action.

Carly's New Year Resolve:
A Big Commitment to Iyengar Yoga
|
 | Carly does Tree Pose for balance and strength
|
Letter from newly committed yoga student Carly Stewart. . .
"This is a big year for me. In less than six months, I turn thirty.
Like many others, over the course of the holidays I decided to make a health related commitment.
I've purchased a one-year unlimited pass and for this first bit of January I've reached my goal by hitting the mat three times a week.
Living a more balanced life, being in a more general state of contentment by practicing compassion and acceptance of my psychological and physiological circumstances, brings me to a better place.
Yoga is an excellent avenue to do this. I have already had a few mental moments of resistance - putting my boots on and ambling for fifteen minutes to the studio when it's -25 out doesn't come as easily as other things (putting on the kettle and curling up with a book, for instance), but how I feel during and after practice brings me gratitude.
And so far, it seems to me, life is a more rewarding journey when I'm appreciative of what is."
Happy Practice and Namaste!
