GENTLE Yoga for Healing Backs WITH CHRISTY FISHER

In this very gentle and therapeutic yoga class, we explore practices to help heal and strengthen the back. Christy is a certified Kripalu Yoga teacher, and brings over 37 years of movement training to her teaching. She has worked extensively with people who have injuries and physical limitations, and has specifically studied the therapeutic adaptations of yoga for the lower back and sacrum with leading teachers in the field including, Judith Lasater, Gary Kraftsow, and Carolyn Sudha Lundeen. Christy also worked for several years with University of Washington physical therapist, Kathryn Steucek, on workshops for healing backs, integrating new principles of physical therapy with yoga.

These classes are appropriate for people who live with chronic pain, or who are in a stage of recovery where their physician has recommended gentle, therapeutic exercise.

 “I have taken many yoga classes before, but it is Christy who has gotten me hooked on it….her knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology is amazing.  She also frequently collaborates with a physical therapist, which adds to her overwhelming amount of knowledge.”
