Discover the Happy Back Yoga Method—a therapeutic, alignment-based approach to healing the spine and the stories it holds. Developed by Rachel Krentzman, PT, C-IAYT, CHT, this 5-day experiential program weaves together physical therapy principles, yoga therapy, and Hakomi mindfulness to address both the structural and emotional causes of back pain.
Explore how intelligent, safe practices for conditions such as lower back pain, sciatica, herniated discs, scoliosis, sacroiliac dysfunction, and neck pain help to restore ease and reconnect you to your body's innate wisdom.
Through experiential movement, mindful awareness, guided self-inquiry, lecture, group discussion, and alignment-based yoga practices, you learn:
- Methods for spinal health and injury prevention
- How to design therapeutic sequences for specific spinal conditions
- The emotional roots of chronic pain and how yoga can help release them
- Integration of mindfulness and Hakomi principles for healing
This workshop is appropriate for yoga practitioners with at least one year of experience, yoga teachers, therapists, and healthcare professionals seeking to integrate yoga therapy into their work.
Participants leave with tools for balance, resilience, and a deeper understanding of how healing begins from within.
