I lived in fear that moving would trigger a spasm. I thought yoga meant 'stretching'—but it’s actually about moving safely. Now I move with a confidence I haven't felt in a decade.

Not at all. Many of our students are beginners. You do not need to be flexible or fit. It is not about the poses, it is about evidence-based back care through yoga. Whatever your age or ability, we meet you exactly where you are

Yes, this course is safe for you if you have chronic lower back pain. All of our yoga teachers are very experienced at working with people who are in pain.This is the most common fear our students have. Unlike ‘gym yoga’ or general exercise classes, this course was designed by back experts specifically for people who experience pain. We start with pain relieving poses followed by gentle movement. From day one of the course, you will start to build confidence on how to manage your back pain.

Many treatments for back pain focus on the symptoms. This course offers a holistic approach to lower back pain which equips you with all the tools you need to manage back pain for life. It is supported by the largest clinical trial in the UK on Yoga and Back Pain which showed a 63% improvement in how people manage their pain. [See the research paper published in the Annals of Medicine ].

We ask that you attend a weekly live 75 minute Zoom class for 12 weeks and through your course portal you will have access to guided relaxations and exercises to practice in between the weekly class, ideally 15-20 mins 3-4 times a week. In our experience, the more people put into the course, the more they get out.

If you have severe pain which has become worse over several weeks instead of better, or which never goes away, or if you are unwell with pain, we recommend you see a doctor.

Below are a few symptoms that are very rare but if you have back pain and suddenly develop any of these symptoms in addition, you should also see a doctor straight away:

● Difficulty passing or controlling urine

● Numbness around your back passage, genitals or inner thighs

● Loss of control and feeling from your back passage

● Numbness, pins and needles or weakness in both legs

● Unsteadiness on your feet

If you are unable to get up and down off of the floor with the aid of a chair, this course is also not appropriate for you.

If you can click a link in an email then you can join a Zoom class. You can use a phone, tablet or computer. In your 1:2:1 with the yoga teacher before the start of the course, the teacher will guide you on how to set yourself up correctly so you can be seen and that you have everything you need to hand for the first session. We keep our groups small so the teacher can guide you safely through the class.

We want this course to be a stress-free experience for you. That is why we offer our money back guarantee. If you are not satisfied with the course, simply let your teacher know. We will refund you for any outstanding lessons that you have not yet taken. You will no longer have access to the online portal once we have refunded you.

Try it risk-free

We believe in this programme because we’ve seen the science work for thousands of people. But we also know that when you’re in pain, making a commitment can feel like a risk. Our goal is to take that weight off your shoulders with a straightforward, pro-rata guarantee.

If at any time you are not satisfied, simply inform your teacher. You will be issued a refund for all future, unattended lessons you have paid for (£28 per session).

There are no awkward conversations and no hidden catches—just a sincere commitment to your back health and your peace of mind.
