I have not practised yoga before and someone told me that it would be good for my sore back. Could you please tell me how yoga would help me. I don't have an injury, the problem is just muscular pain and stiffness.

Yoga is a means of relaxing, stretching and strengthening all the muscles of the body including the deep layers of back muscles. A class begins with a relaxation practise to consciously soften and let go of tension with the breath. Relaxation practise can include a progressive muscles relaxation of all the major muscles groups of the body. Your Yoga in Daily Life Class is designed in a holistic and nourishing way to bring harmony to the body, mind and soul by uniting breath with balanced and natural movements. Our Easy Yoga classes are suitable for everyone.

The deep layers of back muscles have an ability to regenerate with gentle controlled movement which include spinal twisting movements which alternatively stretch and strengthen the muscles either side of the spine, improving circulation,toning and releasing tension and tightness. Please speak to your Yoga teacher at the beginning of the class so that they can support you in your yoga practise.
