Course Overview

Balance Strength and Flexibility For a Healthy Back

Functional movement begins with a healthy spine—one that’s strong, flexible, and able to support you through everything from reaching for a shelf to lifting your child or stepping into the shower.

In this balanced, all-levels course, you’ll explore yin and yang yoga practices that build both spinal mobility and stability. Through flexibility-enhancing yin poses and strength-focused yang movements, you’ll improve your posture, protect your back, and move with more ease in everyday life.

Whether you’re a yoga student looking to increase your functional range of motion or a teacher wanting to share spine-supportive sequences, this course offers practical, accessible tools to help you build real-world resilience—on and off the mat.

What You’ll Experience

  • Yin for Mobility: Gently open the spine in all six directions with gravity-supported poses that enhance flexibility.

  • Yang for Stability: Use isometric holds to engage core and back muscles, building spinal strength.

  • Repetition for Endurance: Repeat postures to build lasting stamina and help prevent injury.

What You’ll Learn

  • How to increase spinal flexibility safely using yin techniques

  • Core strengthening strategies to enhance spinal stability

  • How to integrate yin and yang into balanced, functional sequences

What You’ll Gain

  • Greater freedom of movement and reduced stiffness

  • Tools to protect your spine in daily movement and lifting

  • A repeatable sequence that supports long-term spinal health

Who This Course is For

  • Yoga students of all levels looking to build strength and flexibility

  • Yoga teachers wanting to offer spine-safe, functional practices

  • Anyone seeking to move with confidence, comfort, and stability
