EVANSVILLE YOGA FOR BACK PAIN

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek out yoga—and for good reason. Whether it’s a dull ache, sharp tension, or persistent discomfort that comes and goes, back pain can interfere with your sleep, mobility, energy, and overall quality of life. The good news is that yoga, when adapted thoughtfully and therapeutically, can make a real difference.

Why Yoga Therapy Works for Back Pain

Pain is a signal, not a life sentence. Often, back pain arises from imbalances in posture, muscular tension, limited mobility, or stress. Through slow, intentional movement and breath-centered practices, we begin to re-educate the body and nervous system—creating new patterns that support healing instead of reinforcing pain.

In my sessions, I don’t just focus on your spine. I consider the whole person—body, breath, mind, behavior, and emotion. That’s because what’s happening in one layer often affects all the others. If you’re carrying stress, grief, or overwhelm, it will show up in your body. And when we begin to address these layers with care, the pain often begins to shift.

A Personalized, Gentle Approach

Your yoga therapy sessions for back pain will be adapted to your specific needs and capacity. Whether your pain is from a recent injury, a chronic condition like herniated discs or sciatica, or long-term strain from daily habits, we’ll work together to find movements and techniques that feel supportive and safe.

Your practice may include:

• Gentle movement (asana) to support core strength and spinal alignment
• Breathing practices (pranayama) to reduce tension and regulate the nervous system
• Postural awareness and functional movement
• Meditation and mindfulness to calm the mind and shift your experience of pain
• Behavioral tools to support new habits and self-care

You don’t need to be flexible or fit to begin. You don’t even need to get on the floor—many practices can be done seated or standing. My goal is to help you feel better and move better, in a way that’s truly sustainable.

Reclaim Comfort, Strength, and Stillness

With consistent practice, many people report improved posture, reduced inflammation, better sleep, and a greater sense of control over their pain. But perhaps even more important, they feel more connected to their body—and less limited by it.

If you’ve been living with back pain and aren’t sure what to try next, yoga therapy offers a gentle and empowering path forward.
