Qigong (Chi Kung) and Gentle Yoga for Back Pain
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- This gentle sequence draws from Qigong, Tai Chi, and simple Yoga to help release and relieve back pain. We start standing with gentle movements but finish relaxing on the floor. Make sure you have a couple of comfy cushions for the end!
We work to stretch, lengthen and release muscles in the side body and lower back that can be chronically tight and tense. Both qigong and yoga have great tools to help relax and bring ease to your back. I had a long history of chronic back pain myself, so many of these movements are things I use to keep my back happy and healthy.
If you have a herniated (slipped) disc, I strongly urge you to consult with your medical practitioner before taking this class, so they can guide you as to what movements are helpful or unhelpful for your specific issue.
In love and healing,
James 💜

I am suffering from lower back pain for more than two weeks. This practiced eased the tension a little. I will repeat this everyday until I week comfortable.
Thank you James🙏🙏
Thanks Tuba, I'm grateful this helped ease some pain. I hope you are feeling better now.
So great to start off the morning with this gentle yet very healing practice. My left QL is the bane of my life and this has gently released it. You have reminded me that it's ok to not over do xo
Sylvianne this is so great to hear - thank you. I absolutely agree about not over doing it! Taking things a little more gently can be so beneficial.
11:38 “The Windmills of Your Mind” is the song. My favorite version is Dusty Springfield’s.
Haha, Thanks Sara 💜
