Preventing workplace back pain and back injury.

Our Yoga for Back Pain collaboration (between Ann Pizer and myself) continues this month with side angle pose. This pose will challenge your balance and give you a great spine lengthening experience, as well as help you reverse years of poor posture habits. And, as a mixture with the right poses, including preparation work (i.e. pelvic tilt), side angle can help address the pain and discomfort of scoliosis. To learn how to perform side-angle pose correctly, follow the instructions.

Side angle pose is a standing pose, and should be preceded with tadasana, or mountain pose and triangle pose. See Ann's write up on the series of poses.
