If you have never suffered from any back pain, you are in the minority! Most people suffer from some type of back pain in the course of their lifetime and statistics show that a whopping 85% of our culture experiences back trouble.
In this course, we offer postural practices and somatic movement sequences to support lower back health as a preventive measure. We also review the most common ailments that inflict the musculature of the back and the supporting tissues along the spine. We establish protocols for addressing spinal limitations in the muscular-skeletal system and address the vulnerability of the spinal nerves, ligaments, joints and discs.
Sessions include some anatomical review of the connective tissues involved in spinal health and spinal motion. Each session includes practices to mobilize and stabilize the soft tissues across the entire back and locally along the spine.

Prajna Yoga - Tias & Surya Little
Prajna Yoga makes its home in the foothills of Santa Fe, New Mexico, at the founders’ home, Tias and Surya Little, where they have lived since 1997. After directing local yoga studios for 11 years, Tias and Surya established Prajna Yoga in 2004 to integrate yoga discipline with contemplative practice and study. They built a retreat center that provides a serene setting for students to deepen their practice and studies. The Prajna Yoga Temple, handcrafted with the aesthetic of Japanese temple design, is an exquisite facility to support students who want to explore the healing arts of yoga.
