What's going on with your lower back?
Tension or pain in the lower back is one of the most common conditions affecting adults today. In fact, it's estimated that up to 80% of people will deal with back pain at some point in their lives, including pain that goes into the glutes, hips or legs (sciatica).
But WHY exactly is your lower back so vulnerable? Why does tension keep coming back? And what can you do to relieve your discomfort and prevent it from coming back?
About Me
My name is Joëlle, and I'm here to help your lower back feel better.
As a yoga and movement teacher, I specialize in teaching simple solutions for pain management, borne out of my own experience living with conditions like fibromyalgia and chronic hip bursitis.
The low back is an area particularly close to my heart because it's THE part of the body my students ask me about the most! There's a real lack of understanding around this area, and it's time we demystify it together to help YOU feel better!
I've poured everything I know into this workshop to make sure that you leave it feeling confident that you too can live pain-free with a healthy lower spine!
