    Thank you thank you thank you!!! This is my go-to back care class. I've done it a few times already and it helps every time. I can't thank you enough. The SI joint stability exercises are so incredibly grounding and helpful for me.
    • Felicia Tomasko     May 10th, 2013
      Dear Damiana, I'm honored by your note. I'm glad to hear that you've found this practice so helpful that its become a go-to class for you. I find the SI joint stabilization practices helpful, which is why I've included them here. Enjoy! Hope to see you here again! Namaste, Felicia
  • Laurel Wood     Dec 5th, 2012
    Thank you for this. I've been looking for classes without forward bending (which I actually love but is bad for my disc compression). I will return to this practice!
    • Felicia Tomasko     May 10th, 2013
      Dear Laurel, so many practices include forward folds, I can understand the desire to find practices that offer alternatives. I'm glad this one worked for you and I hope you're able to come back to it again and again. Namaste, Felicia
  • Rochelle Kwiatkowski     Nov 2nd, 2012
    Thank you for reducing my back pain with just this one class by 50%! :)
    • Felicia Tomasko     Nov 3rd, 2012
      Dear Rochelle, thanks for your note. I'm delighted that this practice helped reduce your back pain. Awesome! My intention for this sequence was that it would help the muscles of the back experience a greater sense of ease. Remember to find this practice again and again, Felicia

  • Heidi Kyser     Jul 21st, 2012
    Earlier this week, I tweaked my back lifting a piece of furniture -- first physical injury of my life serious enough to put me out of commissions. I couldn't even walk my dog! After a few days' rest, I was ready to try some yoga, and this was exactly what I needed. Thanks so much, Felicia.
  • Honey Honey     Jul 9th, 2012
    Felicia! This class was amazing and just what I needed. I started Yogaglow about two weeks ago and my back has been feeling so tight. This worked it out and I feel absolutley lovely. Thank you so much :)
  • Felicia Tomasko     Mar 21st, 2012
    Dear Millie, Thanks for trying out this session with me. It's an honor to share the practice. Also, I appreciate your feedback about the words at the beginning of class. We need reminders to take our practice into this moment. Look forward to sharing with you and hope to hear from you again. Enjoy your day! Felicia

    Dear Dar, you're right! Doing less & slowing down & tasting stillness--these are very advanced practices. Thank you for walking the gentle path with me. Hope to see you again on the mat! Felicia

    Dear Julie, thanks for the sweet comments and the giggles! Glad to hear that you found the class helpful for SI issues--that was my idea. And the idea that we need to let go of the imaginary body we have and embrace and befriend the real body in our lives right now brings us freedom. See you again on the mat, Felicia
  • Anjali George     Jan 20th, 2012
    Amazing Class. Thank you so much, Felicia!

    Perfect for SI issues, thank you, and I especially loved the good giggles I got out of your remark "let go of your perfect body you have in your mind". Love your humor and grounded presence once again. <3

    Dear Kate, I'm happy to hear your low back feels better. Ah, yes, that tricky space between the shoulders--stuff definitely gets stuck in there. Check out the archive of my classes as there are many classes that help save the shoulders. Enjoy your happy back and see you again on the mat I hope, Felicia
  • Kate Sikora     Oct 24th, 2011
    Wow...My lower back thanks you Felicia! Now I need to work on the space between my shoulders.

    I hope you'll be able to return to your vinyasa practice soon. In the meantime, it's good to have something to stabilize the low back. Glad this practice helped!
