Not so many years ago, yoga was not very well understood in the West.

Fortunately, today many in our culture have come to understand its many benefits.

Many practitioners say that a good yoga workout leaves them feeling more in harmony with life.

If you've never practiced or looked into yoga before, as a back pain sufferer you should keep in mind that there are several different kinds of yoga. Some practices may be inappropriate, or even dangerous, for those with certain conditions. We hope to be posting more extensively on these differences sometime soon, but meanwhile, we highly recommend viniyoga and strongly encourage you to learn as much as you can about the differences between the different practices before beginning any routine. You should also get the okay from your primary physician first, and even then, take it very easy on yourself, especially in the beginning.
