Getting ready for my next zoom class April 9 at 10 am. Learn how to efficiently improve your posture to return to your center, mentally and physically. As always poses are based in the sciences of anatomy and functional movement. Good posture is a prerequisite for spinal extensions, ie: baby backbends, which are the poses that help us build bone density. Hope to see you on zoom! . . . . . . #backpainrelief #thebackpainremedy #asheville #ashevillenc #828isgreat #visitasheville #yogaforbackpain #adaptiveyoga #functionalyoga #yogaforall #yogatherapist #yogatherapy #yogamentor #iyengartrained #yogateachertrainer #yogaheals #alignmentyoga #backpainspecialist #ashevilleyoga #ashevilleyogateacher #privateyogatherapy #yogainspiration #yogajourney #feelgood #seeyouonthemat #yogalife #yogalove #positivevibes #namaste https://www.instagram.com/p/B-pHAOIhDJq/?igshid=g3p7kmwuuvpi
