Frank, a regular Lunge yogi since 2005, avoided crippling back surgery at 18 and these days experiences zero back pain at 62.
Regular golf, racket ball, soft sand runs and long walks? No issue whatsoever.
Health
Apprehensive about yoga with a sore back? Don’t be – Really.
A healthy back means a healthy body
Your back is the core of your skeletal system and the framework of your whole body. It’s therefore not surprising that when your back is weak or misaligned, the body becomes vulnerable to pain, discomfort and a blocked or insecure mind.
Yoga and weight loss
Yoga has been a great way of ironing out my body’s creaks from becoming more sedentary. I hadn’t realised that I could regain a better body shape by doing yoga more regularly. I had put on a few kilos, looking after family and becoming more deskbound with my publishing career, but I started attending classes at Lunge yoga that a friend recommended. My initial participation was attending one class a week, but after some time, I had a goal to get fitter and help improve my health. I especially wanted to help work on niggling back pain.
