This beginner-friendly yoga session focuses on gentle seated poses that ease tension in your back, improve flexibility, and promote relaxation. Perfect for all levels, this 18-minute guided practice will help you find comfort and calm in your daily routine.

In this session, we incorporate a variety of seated folds, each designed to target different areas of your back and improve overall spine health. Seated forward folds, for example, gently stretch the lower back and hamstrings, relieving stiffness and enhancing flexibility.

Seated side bends work wonders for releasing tension in the obliques and intercostal muscles, promoting better posture and balance.

Additionally, seated twists are included to help detoxify the spine and massage the internal organs, encouraging a sense of rejuvenation and relaxation. These poses not only provide immediate relief from back pain but also help to strengthen the muscles supporting the spine, reducing the likelihood of future discomfort.

Seated folds are particularly beneficial for nervous system relaxation. The gentle pressure and controlled breathing involved in these poses activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for promoting rest and digestion. This activation helps to reduce stress levels, lower blood pressure, and create a sense of calm. By incorporating seated folds into your yoga practice, you can experience a profound state of relaxation that extends beyond physical relief, nurturing both your body and mind.
