Yoga for Back Pain and Spine Health | Day 17 | Yoga With Tim

[@twalton]

That puppy dog modification felt way better than it had any right to. Thank you!

[@yogawithtim]

Any time!

[@sofiaclementine]

Gosh, I feel like the whole world needs to do Yoga with Tim. I've done yoga for almost 20 years and you are the first teacher to ever talk about the pelvic floor in such a knowledgable, holistic, and approachable way. I'm consistently amazed and grateful for these classes.

[@yogawithtim]

You are so welcome and thank you Sofia

[@mbg0917]

Thank you Tim, I'm a daily as I was a little sick yesterday. This was just what I needed to get everything moving comfortably. What I love about yoga is the Relationship between all the body parts as you move. Many instructors talk about what's going on at the pelvis but you are the only person that I have found to talk about rib mobility. Thank you so much for that!

[@yogawithtim]

You're so welcome. Thanks

[@heathersha]

Still with you, grateful and lovin it 🙏

[@yogawithtim]

Thanks Heather

[@creativephebecooks]

This session required another level of focus in a good way. I will plan to revisit it pretty soon. Thanks Tim and Happy Tuesday team!

[@yogawithtim]

Great Thanks

[@DoubleDreamer]

I do your videos first thing in the morning and this felt so gooood for the back! Especially the puppy dog modification. Thank you!

[@yogawithtim]

You're welcome!

[@akadesaka]

yes! i am so glad you introduced this series! loved this video! thank you!

[@yogawithtim]

Glad you loved it. Thanks

[@seanrobnett2073]

Always good to give focused attention to my back wether in pain or not. Smooth practice to get the day started. Thanks Tim 🙏🏾

[@yogawithtim]

You bet!

[@astridweber3608]

With two spinal surgeries in my lower back, this one was like heaven for my lower back. The modified dog pose - soooo nice! Thanks, Tim and Ollie ( loved to see you again🫶🏻) Namasté

[@yogawithtim]

You're so welcome! Namaste

[@Tiger_Lightning_Music]

Thank you for this amazing class Tim!! I’m a massage therapist and tweaked my back last night, was not feeling good. So glad that you’re sharing this with us, will be saving this, and also that I took this challenge as a ton of the videos have been super therapeutic.

[@yogawithtim]

Great to hear!

[@anncollins2847]

So subtle, so gentle, but oh! So much relief! Thank you

[@yogawithtim]

Nice to hear. Thanks Ann

[@darlenemarshall7475]

The downward facing dog is a nice move, I am going to recommend this to friends who have back issues but seem to resist yoga. My back is feeling really nice after this session, great way to start the day. Thanks Tim and Ollie 🙂

[@yogawithtim]

Thanks Darlene and so good to hear!

[@chrispallatto]

Thank you! I throw my back out good about once a year. My hope is yoga and exercise will reduce that, and glad to have this in my arsenal if it does go out.

[@yogawithtim]

Cool! Thanks Chris

[@yogtaara]

As always the class was inspiring and the instruction was excellent. Thankyou for your hard work and for keeping us all motivated and focused.

[@yogawithtim]

You got it. Thanks

[@arturocarrea8905]

It's amazing to stay longer in some poses as you can feel the body just slowly relaxing and releasing into the pose, twitching and trying to find harmony. Thank you

[@yogawithtim]

Awesome. Nice insight. Thanks Arturo

[@veronikab1607]

This was just what I needed yesterday 😄, thank you! Somehow my fingers get numb when I stretch and bend to the side down on one knee. Also thank you so much for releasing the videos in time for us on the other side of the globe!🙏

[@yogawithtim]

You're so welcome!

[@jimenaballi]

I hurt my back yesterday while doing exercise, it was quite bad and had to use a tens machine and take anti-inflammatory medication. Today I was feeling slightly better but, after your video I feel almost like nothing happened! I'm so impressed!!! Thank you!!!!

[@yogawithtim]

Sorry to hear that but glad the video helped!

[@kirstymacfarlane1620]

Thank you Tim. As someone with multiple spinal issues, I am so grateful for this. I'm also always looking for new ways to move in my practice. On a side note, I am 7 modules into my ytt course! So excited and looking forward to teaching others who doubt their ability to practice yoga. If I can do it, anybody can! Thanks again Tim 🙏🏼

[@yogawithtim]

You're very welcome!

[@leahscampbell2897]

This was exactly what I needed after my back spasmed this morning. Now I’ll actually be able to make Thanksgiving dinner. Thank you Tim!!

[@yogawithtim]

You're so welcome! Thanks Leah

[@brandonbertelsen8253]

Thanks Tim! This was a great one. I was surprised at how nice the puppy dog modification felt.

[@yogawithtim]

Cool. Thanks Brandon

[@lucyacosta2337]

This was perfect for my lower back. I needed these stretches and breathing exercises. Thank you! Have a great day Tim.☀

[@yogawithtim]

Thank you. You too.

[@emilyharris129]

I don't have back pain but I do have tired muscles from training/running so I really felt the benefits especially in the side body stretches. I will definitely come back to this. I am also enjoying going back to Day 10 and 12. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. It's helping me so much!

[@yogawithtim]

Great to hear!

[@sarahh4105]

January is not my month. Just as i was getting back into the swing of things I got hit with virus and was out for a few more days with nausea. Now I’m back, again. Thanks for this class, felt wonderful and opening.

[@yogawithtim]

Sorry to hear that but glad you're back. Stay with it.

[@nadiapetraroja9428]

Some interesting exercises to try. I think most of us struggle with back issues, especially post-age 40. Interesting to know the back can benefit from movement after a strain or pull. Thanks for the tips Tim.

[@yogawithtim]

You got it. Thanks

[@aramaabiazad]

Thanks for day 17.🙏🏻🙏🏻✌️✌️

[@yogawithtim]

My pleasure 😊

[@Chris-ww7jm]

Day 17, still here! 😅 I think I might be getting addicted to this. Thanks for another great session, Tim

[@yogawithtim]

Awesome. Thanks Chris

[@sanazbehrouzi1513]

Definitely much needed this practice. I have tight rib muscles because of my job. Thank you Tim!!!

[@yogawithtim]

You're so welcome!

[@sandrabanko7491]

Awesome practice! Thank you for your guidance and instruction 🙏🏻

[@yogawithtim]

You're so welcome!

[@RayPRQ]

Thanks for this sequence - it's also a great relief to the day's effects on the back close to bedtime! - Ray

[@yogawithtim]

Nice! Thanks Ray

[@eleonoreconstant]

I really like that type of practice for the end of day, i find it way more beneficial to help me feel better both physically and mentally than a restorative class. Thanks so much Tim! Super useful!!!

[@yogawithtim]

Glad to hear!

[@marieruddeck1390]

Such a good Video to get back to movement after a torn back! I tend to do too much too fast, with your Video it helps to take it slow! Thanks!

[@yogawithtim]

Good to hear it. Thanks Marie

[@wildolivesplant-basedcooki3713]

Awesome back stretch practice! Great advise for sore back M.E. move and exercise! Grazie Mille for these practices, Tim!

[@yogawithtim]

You're so welcome!

[@ilgidebenedetti]

Grâce à tes vidéos, mon mari est aussi tombé amoureux du yoga ! Toute ma gratitude 🙏 İlgi et Edoardo 🇨🇭

[@yogawithtim]

Tellement agréable d'entendre cela. Merci İlgi et mes meilleures salutations à Edoardo. 😊

[@Sir_Racha]

Thanks Tim! Dig your vids so much

[@yogawithtim]

Glad you dig 'em. 😉

[@mckev1]

I don't know a single adult person without some sort of back issue. After doing this I feel a lot more open, ready for day 18. Thanks Tim.

[@yogawithtim]

Great and so good to hear.

[@ft8798]

The perfect class for today, my back feels much better, thank you 😊

[@yogawithtim]

You're so welcome!

[@zmcwardy254]

No back pain but I hadn't done this class before so enjoyed a different mindset for today.

[@yogawithtim]

Cool. Thanks

[@cxsuperfan]

That last stretch against the wall really got deep in my neck and shoulders. Felt awesome!

[@yogawithtim]

Great to hear!

[@summerflora7518]

Thank you for sharing this therapeutic movement! I tweaked my back on the second day of the challenge (it turns out my body is not a fan of jumping right into a yoga practice straight out of bed), so on what should have been day 3, I did your previous yoga for back pain video instead. After that, I felt much better, and was feeling good enough the next day to rejoin this January challenge.

[@yogawithtim]

Way to go. Smart fix ;)

[@sylvie4477]

Une séance en pleine conscience, merci Tim 🙏 Sylvie 😊🐾

[@yogawithtim]

[@natejosich]

Perfect I just did this one yesterday and planned on doing it today. Back starting to feel better thanks!

[@yogawithtim]

Cool. Thanks

[@spicyspacecake]

Watched this to figure out if i can modify enough for someone (me!) with spondylolisthesis … I think I can 😊 - loving your videos. cheers!

[@yogawithtim]

Thanks :)

[@vickimc7322]

Thanks, Tim. My back feels ready for day 18's practice. Namaste

[@yogawithtim]

Cool. Thanks Namaste

[@keolalee2928]

Wow, that practice flew by! Your hair looks great by the way!

[@yogawithtim]

Thank you.

[@JudieMcKown]

I don't have back problems, fortunately, but I enjoyed the stretches. I was glad to hear you were linking to a hip strengthening class, but did not see the link - did I just miss it? I saw the links for the savasanas - love the guided one - but not the hips. Thanks for all you've given me and my 68 year old body!

[@yogawithtim]

Can you give me a time stamp please, i don’t remember saying that

[@JudieMcKown]

@@yogawithtim 19:54

[@JudieMcKown]

So did I misunderstand, or should there have been a link to a hip strengthening class?

[@patriciabeckeryoga]

Can hardly beleive it tool me years to find you. I like your pace, voice, instructions and ... yoga 🤗🧘‍♂👍

[@yogawithtim]

So glad you're with us. Thanks Patricia

[@katiedaker5812]

My spine thanks you, and I loved that down dog against the wall. I will share this with people I know who have back issues.😊

[@yogawithtim]

Please do! Thanks Katie

[@YogiBethC]

Tim, this was very nice; it definitely felt good for stretching areas of my back that tighten up, including after a strength routine.

[@yogawithtim]

Great. Thanks Beth

[@paulinevanrheeden8523]

This was exactly what I needed today after removing the bathroom and carrying all the tiles and wall parts down the stairs this weekend, hell of a job🥴🙈it really helps easing my back, feels much better now, thank you 🙏

[@yogawithtim]

Sounds like fun (Not!) But glad your back is feeling better

[@mphotutuvanfurth6905]

Very well done, it did me and my back good, thank you Tim

[@yogawithtim]

Glad it helped

[@Ben.StevenswithaV]

Nice one, Tim! A breathing session for those with lung capacity issues would be very welcome.

[@yogawithtim]

The breathing classes in the 30 day challenge are perfect for you!

[@Ben.StevenswithaV]

@@yogawithtim LOL. I must've missed them!

[@inbalfrank5181]

tank you for a great class ! loved the focusing on the breath and diaphragm

[@yogawithtim]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@yogawithtim]

You're welcome Isabelle.

[@JohnnyDarko01]

Cool video, I'll come back to this on bad back days for sure. I was wondering for breathing during these poses is it better to be breathing ojjayi (in through the nose out through the nose) or like how you demonstrated around 1:55 for the first pose.

[@yogawithtim]

No, not for this, otherwise I would have taught it ;) trust me, i went to lots of yoga schools 😂 Going forward, I’m happy to answer all your personal coaching questions on the Conscious Movement Community (CMC) site.

👍 accountability comment for completing day 17 ☑️ - really it’s been 17 days? I am still here, it’s amazing how fast it goes when it starts becoming a habit.

[@yogawithtim]

Great. Thanks Reid

[@susanapezzullo6361]

Hi Tim, the stretch for the psoas starting around 13 1/2 minutes didn't feel like it really got into those muscles. What should I adjust? Thanks

[@yogawithtim]

Hey Susan. Thanks for your question. Focus more on the pelvic tilt with your hip exactly over your bottom knee, and engage the glute to put the psoas on stretch, along with the neutral ribcage position. If that doesn't work then translate the pelvis forward 1-2 inches maintaining the posterior tilt on the pelvis and neural ribcage. Going forward, I’m happy to answer all your personal coaching questions on the Conscious Movement Community (CMC) site. Just send me your message on the CMC chat feature.

Hey Beth. Fast forward on this video to 20:05. You'll see them. Or you can do this: In your Google search bar type in kzbin.infovideos On the opening page - at the top of the page in the middle - click on PLAYISTS. To the far right you will see a right-pointing arrow. Click on this arrow. Then you will see a magnifying glass icon. Click on this icon. Type in Guided Deep Relaxation and hit 'Enter' For the beginners series type in Beginner There are seven beginner videos for you to check out. 😉

[@crabsoft]

I've never really exercised before and definitely not in a guided way like this. I always laughed at people who said they cursed their fitness class instructors. Forgive me, Tim. I have called you every name under the sun every time you say the word "plank". The first time you said "side-plank", I was gonna call the government. Thanks for everything you're doing.

[@yogawithtim]

Hahaha! Thank you.
