Hi, I am new to this forum but I noticed that some of my articles have ben linked to from Trainer Road and I wondered if my content might be of value to you guys. I make yoga videos for all sorts of everyday athletes and as well as the paid content on my site, I also post a lot of free resources, including articles and pose guides. Here is my latest article that I think might be useful:
If it is, please let me know and I will continue to share my free content with you. All my best, Abi
Right now Iāve been doing Cobra (I thinkā¦no clue really what Iām doing lol), then plank, then alternate between Cat and Cow with some deep breathing and back through that same cycle a time or two.
Thank you! Sticking with the beginner vids is a great starting point. If you go to the Menu>Videos>By Difficulty>Beginner, you should be able to navigate from there.
No worries! When a new account posts a link in their first post, the system tends to automatically flag that post to prevent spam from getting through.
Welcome @Abi_Carver good to see you here, as Iāve said before on other platforms your sessions have really helped me out over the last couple of years! Look forward to seeing how many other TR users benefit.
I have scoliosis with two 50 degree curves in my back and suffer from almost constant pain in my lower back if I do not stick to a regular yoga regime. Yoga helps tremendously and I have to do it for the rest of my life if I do not want complications in the future. I can do most moves although I am sometimes hesitant about camel and I have not attempted the wheel. The best one for me is the bridge pose! Yoga is great for my lower back pain I donāt know what Iād do without it!

Im a lifetime yoga practitioner, and Iāll admit that I didnt read through all the replies, so if Im repeating something someone else said, apologies up front, but I find that you canāt just select poses for a successful practice. Many times one leads to the other, with a small loosening effect from one pose, enabling subsequent success in the following pose.
So what am I saying? Find a teacher (online or otherwise) who has a program for your problem area (recognizing that yoga by nature is a total body regime), and follow that for a bit. Stick with it, and go through the poses, even the ones you dont like so much (unless they are causing you physical distress) because many many times the pose you think is worthless is actually say, loosining your hips to allow a follow on movement to happen.
