Back Pain programme

Back pain is our modern world tragedy. The statistics shows, that 8 out of 10 people in western world suffer with back pain at some stage in their lives. People tend to sit in their chairs, in front of computers and in their cars for very long periods of time, slouching, having a poor posture and not being aware that this can lead to lot of problems in their spine.

Yoga can greatly reduce back pain and help heal back problems with proper back exercises.
