Healing Yoga for Back Support
From the wounded warrior series. These are an example of some of the therapeutic yoga exercises we practice with the soldiers at Fort Bragg. This video provides gentle and mindful exercises to provide strengthening, healing and support for the lower back. Begin with a restorative spinal twist, then ease into a modified bridge pose. Complete this set with core strengthening. Don’t forget to allow your breath to guide the movements, and movements are slow and controlled. Bring your attention to releasing as much tension as possible in your body, and allowing the mind to rest to the flow of your breath. Support for the back also provides internal support for stress management, especially related to emotional and financial support. Use these exercises to instill trust, confidence and inner strength.
