By back was bothering me and I was afraid it was going to go out. I did this practice and it feels so much better. I'll be here again tomorrow for sure!

This was exactly what I needed today. The practice was gentle and soothed my low back pain. Thank you for the practice.

Precise and slow for those times when it is all about ahimsa. I have been experiencing central low back pain lately instead of my familiar alternating unilateral piriformis-sciatica pain. I already feel a lot better having just completed this. So glad this is available to help me during fragile times.

What a peaceful, healing class. I don't understand the boredom factor reported by others, but I guess you really have to want a gentle, calming practice to enjoy this one. I do wish Yoga Today would do more classes like this; there are so many power yoga challenges out there already and this one is the perfect antidote. Thanks Adi!

This class was very gentle, repetitive in a therapeutic way and I enjoyed it overall. I think with time my sciatica will get better if I practice some of the moves learned here. However, there's another class with Sarah addressing sciatica that gave me more relief. If you're looking for gentle relief, this class will do.

I don't know why everyone says this class is boring- maybe they didn't truly have a back injury. I loved it and it made my back feel so good while I was practicing and now after I've finished. Going to do it again tomorrow!

I have finally sorted out my back trouble as being related to my SI joint, and have been doing as much as I can to help it. Thank you for this wonderful class!

I haven't done this one in quite a while but my back has been bothering me again for a few days now. I feel so much better now!! this class does exactly what it claims to do and more. Loved it thank you Adi!!

I am recovering from a major sciatic nerve flare up and there is no way I could do a regular Ashtanga class right now. I am so thankful for this class. It is absolutely perfect for my situation.

Wonderful class! Would of liked a little hip/glute work as well but I must has it was EXCATLY what my SI joint needed from the little flare I just experienced this week! Thank you, Adi!

I didn't realize how much I need this class. I had some very stuck energy that I was completely unconscious of that feels very relieved. Thank you! I'm not sure if I just haven't gotten to it, but I would really like to do more therapeutic yoga like this more.

I have a disk that flares up on occasion and pinches at my L5S1 vertebrae. I have muted pain in the area and sciatica but this routine helps. I don't use this routine for a sweaty workout but for a relaxing practice on a day where I just want to take care of my lower back.

perhaps it'd be a nice class to do after a regular class to relax

Supposed to be a slow class for this to work!

I feel like it did some good for my back, although some parts were extremely repetitive. Is it really necessary to count off every single rep of something? I think I could have zoned out a bit more without that distraction. However, the class was beneficial, and very relaxing. I went to bed immediately afterwards.

I agree that this was a bit too repetitive. I prefer banishing back pain w/ open hamstrings which is what i have been doing every time i have a bad lower back day. It really does the job of easing low back pain. This one kinda made me sleepy.

Thousand thanks for this class. Have problems since some years in this area and this class is much better than chemical medicine. The lower back feels fresh and tingles full of fine energy :-))) It was exactly what I need and Adi shows with her fantastic class, what yoga is able should be done for an excellent health and well being. Yet I knew Adi in physically demanding ashtanga classes, wich often were a little bit to advanced for me, but in this class, she shows masterly can cure special health problems and gives real help in a wonderful calming and centering way!!!

As others have said, this class was very slow, even more so than I'm used to for restorative poses. It was relaxing, but I was a bit energetic today so it seemed to go slower than it probably would if I was tired. I WILL be doing it again on days I want to practice, but am not so antsy. And the slight back pain I had this AM is gone.

nice, my sciatic feels better already. Really enjoyed this one

HI, I've already reviewed this class when I was struggling with pain 6 months ago... I've had a relapse of slipped disc and have found this class helps me keep moving even when walking is difficult.... Thanks sooo much! Namaste!

I have been doing a lot of core work and so took this class as a precautionary measure just in case my form was off and my low back had taken some abuse. I think it was very effective overall. There were some deliberate strengthening postures for hip flexors and inner thighs in the mix.

this class was so gentle and restorative. my lower back feels great, and my mind feels clear after all the slow, steady breathing.

I have been suffering from acute lower back pain for a few years now. I have been a dancer most of my life, am 29 now, and never been injured until a painful sensation in my lower back was experienced while practicing. Since then the lower back pain has existed and I had not been able to find anyone who could help me. Until now - for others like me - I think this class may be the answer.

This class was pretty slow and a little repetitive for me. All poses were done on the ground. I think I would like to see more variety in the poses with the class moving faster. I think this class was more for beginners too.

Soft, pacing and calming. Very relaxing and enjoyable, restorative. Put some quiet music in the background, fall back into your breathing and meditate through this class. Thank you for lovely class.

Although this class was slow paced and contained no standing postures (and no downward facing dog!), it definitely focused attention to the lower back and allowed it to loosen up and relax. I suffer from periodic lower back and SI joint issues, so this one I will definitely come back to when I need a restorative class. And...class bonus...my inner thighs are so warm right now after the slow coming together of the legs from Supta Baddha Konasana :) Who knew!

This class is done entirely on the back or in seated position. It's a lovely restorative class that focuses on your lower spine. This class was perfect for me because I recently had a pinched sciatic nerve. Between this class and Sarah's sciatica class, I'm feeling a lot better. Thanks, Adi!

I just returned from my spine specialist. He asked about PT and I reminded him that I do my Yoga regularly...so he says stick with that. I logged on and saw this new class was just for me! Lots of low back pain lately! Thank you Adi, it helped a good deal and since its doc's orders, I will do this one a few more times. Anne

I don't experience low back pain but decided to try this class anyway in order to bring my attention to a place in my body that I don't normally think about. It was also a good class for me because I haven't practiced in several weeks. Thank you!

Too slow for my liking; that said, my back does feel good.

A restorative class with a lot of fluid reps and holds. I only used 38 minutes today, but the tenderness and compression I've been feeling in my lower back has lessened.
