Hi everyone, I've taken the occasional yoga class here and there, but am wondering if there is a specific yoga that you might reccommend for someone coming out of an injury. Im finishing up a month or so of physio, due to a weakness in my lower back that was pushed by my love of longboarding, along with some other things. I would like to continue to strengthin my core etc, but I am worried that certain positions may cause strain that i wont be able to handle and put myself back into another whimsicle round of therapy... I am quite active in skateboarding and other activities that put a lot of pressure on my back, and my physio says that since i am quite a tiny person..that the risk of a similar injury if i dont do anything now are innevitable. Are there certain positions, or a certain kind of yoga that some of you would reccommend that wont strain my back? Pilates has also been reccommended to me.. Any more info would be awesome
honestly, just google it. i have a book that is great... it gives different yoga positions for different ailments and stuff but my friend is borrowing it. im sure google would give you some good ideas though.
I absolutely recommended Ashtanga yoga. Get a good teacher though--trust your instincts. Also called 'the hot yoga' I think, because it's done with a lot of heat so you can sweat and detox. Core building, along with prana (breath) make up the 'core' of the practice. It's clearing up a lot of my problems, spinal and of the wrists. Seek a teacher
for me personnally, i would NOT do ashatanga yoga in the beginning, more if you are almost already healed, hatha yoga, is somethin i would personnally focus on
