Low back discomfort is one of the most common physical reasons people seek out yoga for support – and it’s rarely just about the back itself. In this small group yoga therapy workshop, we’ll explore how posture, pelvic orientation, core stability, breath, and daily movement habits can both contribute to, and help relieve, persistent low back pain.
Through simple and exploratory movement, breathwork, and mindfulness practices, you’ll be guided to better understand your body – particularly the low back as a primary source of support – and discover ways to move and rest with more ease and less pain. This practice includes education, individualized attention within the group, and practical tools you can apply in everyday life – not generic poses, but therapeutic practices tailored to your specific needs.
This two part spring series includes two yoga therapy workshops focused on areas of the body that commonly bear load and support movement in daily life: the low back and the hips. While the workshops are designed to complement each other and taking both is highly recommended, you are welcome to register for one or both sessions.
Designed for those of us living modern lifestyles in modern bodies, these workshops use therapeutic movement, breath, rest, and awareness to explore how strength, stability, flexibility, and mobility can be cultivated from the spine outward, helping to reduce strain and support greater bodily ease over time.
In studio only. Each workshop is limited to 8 participants. A short yoga therapy intake questionnaire is required upon registration. Beginners welcome.
Stay tuned for two follow up workshops this fall – neck/shoulders and hands/feet!
Investment: $55 per workshop, or $100 for both (up to April 3). If you register for one workshop and choose to attend the second, you’ll receive a promo code after registration to access the 2 for $100 rate.
10% off for studio members (those who are on monthly auto pay or pre paid plans) – must register by April 3.
Instructor
Nicole Bratt
Nicole's teaching is shaped by studies with Judith Hanson Lasater, Robin Rothenberg, Darren Main, Harvey Deutch, Britt Fohrman, Brenna Geehan, Sean Haleen, Darcy Lyon, and other wise teachers who model yoga as a living, adaptive, trauma-informed, and deeply human practice. She also credits her students and clients as essential teachers in this ongoing learning. She believes the vast yoga “toolbox” offers something for everyone and emphasizes slowing down, cultivating compassionate self-awareness, and supporting nervous system regulation - because sustainable change begins with presence. Her work blends yoga therapy’s individualized approach with somatic practices such as mindfulness, personal training, physical therapy, Feldenkrais, and massage. She often works with adults 55+, perimenopausal and menopausal women, busy professionals, and individuals living with chronic or terminal illness. Each session becomes a collaborative exploration of what supports ease, stability, and wholeness. She views each person as the expert of their own body, offering guidance and tools that support moving well, resting well, and aging well.
