Thank you thank you thank you. Your advanced knowledge of the human body and musculature plus your understanding of the yogi body really shined through in this practice. After 3 weeks of lower back pain I feel some relief and a better understanding of how to modify my practice And help some of my students with their own practice. Love love love!!!

This is the first class I did after joining YogaGlo, and this class alone is well worth my monthly membership. Classes I have done in the past that were for the lower back often empasized strengthening the abs and core. While I understand that's important, it usually just made my lower back hurt more. But this class left me feeling refreshed and with a deeper awareness of everything I need to use for low back strength and support. Thank you!

Having low grade low back pain and SIJ issues for over a year. Have done all of the lower back classes on the glo, this is the only one that gave me relief for over 24 hours, sometimes we don't even realize how much chronic pain, till it's gone. The other classes deal more with flatten lower lumbar and tight hamstrings, mine is opposite, overly flexible, some ligaments I think now overstretched and not "supporting". Did get to see how weak my lower glutes and hamstrings and quads are. Could you bring herman back and do another well balanced class for those of us who suffer from low back issues, the numbers of us are mounting. THANKS TIFFANY, your knowledge is beyond your years.

Wow, thank you Tiffany! My back felt so tired and sore this morning and after this class I feel so much better.

Great class! I've got chronic lower back problems, but today woke with a real pinch in my back - this class has really worked it out & I'm feeling much better. Thanks for your knowledge.

As runner who deals with pulled/sore muscles in my lower back (lumbar stuff and ligament pulls), this was PERFECT. Thank you so much, it was exactly what I needed. And I loved your little skeleton helper :)

Just amazing!

This is my first time practicing with you.I have been an Anusara practitioner for many years, however I have been off my practice for about a year due to a few major injuries .Because of that and doing a lot of lying down my back has been very tight and painful (L4&5). Your class has helped me so much.I love your method of teaching. No extra talking just enough and you are extremely knowledgeable & qualified.

Tiffany, thank you. I am having acute pain but it's on top of a chronic issue. I modified a lot and feel so much relief now. You are a very skilled teacher.

Another fabulous class!! Very informative! You rock!

That was great, just what I needed, I woke up in so much pain today but I feel much better already. :)

this class left me feeling exactly how I had hoped it would. will do this one again and again!

That felt amazing, thank you! Namaste!

Great class! Just what I needed for my lower back. I love all the anatomy you pulled into the class.

i love your classes, this one especially! your flow is so natural, challenging but timed perfectly. i especially appreciate that you do the entire class - sometimes when instructors are walking around or talking too much they lose track of the time and the sides get uneven but you always make me feel balanced. Your poses are elegant and graceful, they inspire me to move with the purpose you possess. Thanks so much for being a part of yogaglo so that I could practice with you.

Thank you! That was my first class with you but definitely not the last! Namaste!

Thank you!

What an incredible class Tiffany!!!! Thank YOU SO MUCH!!! I feel invigorated and in a state of meditative bliss*** Wow! Super sweet :) I started the practiced feeling all screwed up in the lower back ;) and as I started the flow, I experienced an immediate release... so much so that I was able to extend my muscles like never before :) Doubly cool... on it goes to my favorites :) Thank you! Loved the pace of the practice and functional training approach! Perfect*** All MY LOVE XOXOXO

Amazing class. Thanks for the verbal cues and anatomical explanations. I really liked that I had time to explore my pelvic tilt and practice getting in the right position. Reading through the comments, I see that I'm not the only who has been practicing incorrectly (posterior pelvic tilting) and getting flare-ups in the lower back. I'll apply what I learned to my regular practice. Will you do a class for the upper back?

Tiffany: this was without a doubt one of the best classes I've taken. I hurt my back in July from picking up and carrying around my 2yr old. I hurt the muscles where my ribs meet the spine and this class was one of the1st times I have had some relief since July! Thank you so much! God Bless!

Thanks Tiffany, love your classes and use them regularly :) Do you have any additional stretches that you could recommend for the QL? I tweaked my back a long while ago and my mucles became very guarded/twitchy. Physio and accupuncture have been doing a world of good (and I got a green light from my physio to start adding in more active exercises and stretches), but I find that sometimes I'm just looking for something a little more to get that good side stretch in the low back...

I feel so good! I have been learning so much from you Tiffany. Thank you!

wonderful practice - thank you!

Hey Rebecca, the two main things to watch for the knees are to make sure the patella is tracking right over the ankle so your kneecap points straight forward and to ease off a little if it's painfull (ie lift up out of it a little). Hopefully one or both of those should help. The warrior poses when done with good alignment help to balance the tone of the inner & outer quads to help the patella track properly which often helps the knees. ;)

Thank you for the video! Unfortunately I also have problematic knnees so found some of the warrior poses challenging. Do you have any suggestions

Very helpful..great class. My low back pain radiates to my right hip, sometimes both hips. Any suggestions or maybe another class you teach on Yoga Glo would be therapeutic for this problem.

Tiffany,I think this practice effectively helped me isolate my back pain to clenching around my sacrum. I can't, however, for the life of me figure out how to relax that part of my body. Do you have any additional tips or suggestions? Thank you for helping me understand my back and back pain better.

Great therapeutic Flow! Thanks. I'll come back to this one for sure. Namaste.

Glad it helped M'Le! ;)

Thank you thank you thank you! XD. My back was killing me after work last night, and woke up with it hurting even more. This helped so much. Thank you. xxx

Thanks Anne, glad you enjoyed it! ;)

THanks Magali. ;)

Great to hear Brillo, glad it helped! :)

Fabuloous class. Love your thoughts, knowledge and humour!

Thanks, it s a great class.
Namaste

my respects to you! and congratulation for the wonders you did with my lower back pain...Thanks so much!!

Aw thanks Kirsi, that's so sweet of you. I love YogaGlo, it's great to have you. :)

Thanks guys, so glad his one is helpful! :)

Namaste!

Thanks Madeira, I have this strange infatuation with Italy, been dying to go for years. So excited to finally make the trip! Looking forward to it. :)

Hi Tiffany, yeah yogaglo is great! I'd love to come to paris, let's see... but you are very welcome in rome too! :) Enjoy sri lanka, Madeira

So nice to hear Madeira, I love YogaGlo, what would we do without it?! Looks like I may be teaching in Paris in May. I can't wait, keep your eyes peeled, would love to have you. Sending my best from Sri Lanka. ;)

That's great to hear Colleen, these are the comments that make my job so rewarding, thanks for sharing! ;)

dear Tiffany, thank you so much! I woke up this morning with a horrible pain in my back and after the class it was almost gone!! Grazie mille from Rome

Your welcome, I love that Kim. Glad it was helpful for you!

Tiffany. Your class was the perfect cure and saved me a trip to the chiropractor. Three quarters of the way through this practice my vertabrate all popped into place on their own. Just what I needed! Thank you.

Great to hear Alinsa, nice to have you on here! ;)

I loved this class! Thank you!

Thank you! I'll try again with your recommendation.

Sorry to hear that Shawn. This class is meant for more chronic low grade back pain so if your having more acute, intense pain you may want to skip it altogether. However if it was just the core work at the beginning you can try just leaving your hips on the floor and doing everything else or just skip that very first part entirely if it's still painful. Hope that helps. :)

Is there a way I can do them more safely?

Unfortunately, the first exercises hurt my low back.

That's so sweet, great to hear Catriona, I love that. Thanks for the feedback, glad to help. xoxo :)

I've been doing this practice a lot to heal my back, and I get more and more out of each time - I love your classes Tiffany, you are a genius x

Glad it helped Catriona! ;)

Great to hear Susan. That opening in the hips comes over time, try not to worry about getting them to the ground and just keep working on opening the hips. We have a special section on YogaGlo on hip opening classes, check it out. ;)

Thank you so much, my back feels amazing after this.

Tiffany, Thankyou so much for this class. I come back to it regularly and I am definitely seeing improvement. When we are sitting down toward the end of the class, my knees are staying at an angle. I cannot open them to be flat on the ground (like yours are). Is there anything I can do to help open them up?

Yes Susan, that's perfectly fine. In fact part of what we're doing is trying to build strength in the legs to help suppport the back so the shaking in the legs is a good sign that they are getting tired. If it's toward the beginning of class then it could just be a sign that the legs are a little weak in which case continuing to strengthen them with a class like this is helpful. If it's toward the end of the class it probably just means you were doing it correctly and your legs were tired as they should be at the end. If it feels more like they are cramping or twitching you may want to try some electrolytes. I hope that helps Susan. ;)

Is it normal for the legs to shake during the workout?

Great to hear Nancy, thanks for the feedback, glad I could help! :)

This is one of the best lower back practice ever! I have sciatica and lower back pain and the practice made me feel more open in my lower back. The side body work did wonders. Will be coming back to this practice often. Thank you so much.

Anytime Carol, glad I could help!

Just what I needed, thank you!

Love the feedback Joyleene, I'm glad it's helping you find a little balance in your training. Glad I could help! ;)

Thanks An & Lynn, glad you're enjoying it! :)

Tracy- That's a huge insight to understand, it will make a big difference in your practice and especially in your back. Glad it's all coming together! ;)

Kate- Great to hear. I love supta gomukasana for easing the low back, makes it more accessible. I'm glad it's all making sense for you!! ;)

Hi Tiffany,
Just wanted to let you know what a back-saver this class is, especially after a kettlebell workout or just whenever my back feels ‘out’. It’s one of my favorite classes by you and I find myself returning to it time and again. Thanks for making such a therapeutic class available… Looking forward to do your latest hamstring class and hope that you’ll do one for psoas release.

what an amazing, luscious, healing teaching... dhanyavad, tiffany....

Super Nice class & good & clear focus on lower back!

Dear Tiffany, thanks for this class. I'm recovering from an acute lower back pain attack. As the practice progressed, I noticed the pain is the most severe when my back is rounded (bowing of head, bending forward, etc). Forward tilting of the pelvis is very difficult for me. I'm grateful for the realization this practice offered me. I'm getting to know my body better :)

Tiffany your other side stretching class is also really helping me. I have always struggled with Parivrrta Trikonasana, in fact it was excruciating. Now, I can start to open up into it and I am delighted. Thank you and Namaste, Kate

Oh, what I meant to say is that it is really helpful doing Gomukhasana in supine, I have never tried that before and my muscle were really able to release, Yah!

Tiffany! You are so smart, Gomukhasana is so helpful for my tight lumbopelvichip region... thank you, thank you, thank you

Thanks! I was just in Oregon a week ago but was in Bend while you were doing your Salutation Nation:( Next time!

At Marion, shoulders to come... ;)

Thanks guys, I'm so glad you're all enjoying the class. ;)

@ Helene & Janelle- I'm so glad it helped, enjoy!

Wow, after this class I'm able to bend over without pain! Thank you.

just what i needed!

Such a beautiful and healing class. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Namaste

I learned so much from this amazing class. I can't wait to do it again, and apply what I've learned to other classes. Thank you so much! My lower back thanks you, too!

Thanks so much for the awesome class! Loved the descriptions behind the poses too, I'm sure to do this class again! Thanks again :)

Ahhhh...that was yummi. Loved it. It is always so awesome to get more anatomical insight into the why's and how's of the body and movement. Makes the asana make more sense and the little tiny details that make a pose come together so much easier to remember. Thank you Tiffany. Maybe one of these days you could do one on the shoulders.? I'm having issues with especially my right one ever since I have been working on my handstand. Have a blessed day! Namaste.

Wonderful class!

thank you from the bottom of my heart, QL, sacrum, etc. I have bulging discs at L-4 and 5 from old ice skating injuries so I live with chronic back pain and unfortunately some severe flare-ups. It is so hard to stretch and release thru the sacrum, but this practice helped sooo much! I LOOOOOOVED the forward bend with hands to calves, that action of pressing calves into hands and lifting sacrum allowed me to lengthen out of the pelvis for the first time in a long time. my back feels fab!
