The first yoga practice book on back health for women - by the well-known yoga teacher and fascia expert. In this holistic health guide, experienced yoga teacher Lucia Nirmala Schmidt shares her most effective exercises for a healthy back.
The target group is women, whose back complaints often have very different causes than those of men. The hormonal situation before and during menstruation, pregnancy or menopause can cause unexplained complaints. Likewise, organ prolapse, chronic constipation, fibroids and many other factors have an effect on back health.
In the first part of the book, the author presents the anatomical connections between bones, joints, muscles and fascia in a simple, clear and practical way. In addition, the often forgotten possible causes of pain in the area of the lumbar spine, especially in women, are explained.
The second part then goes into practice. Tried and tested and helpful exercises from yoga and yoga therapy are presented to realign and rearrange the body structure. The back can be relieved and strengthened at the same time, so that increasing looseness, strength and lightness can be experienced.
