The Essential Low Back Program: Relieve Pain & Restore Health

Thirty-one million Americans suffer from low back pain. There is hope though. The Essential Low Back Program offers clinically proven relief. Seventy-eight percent of the participants of a recent National Institute of Health study who followed The Essential Low Back Program experienced a significant reduction in their pain levels in just 12 weeks. In addition, they gained life long tools to help keep their backs strong and restore their overall well-being. Nationally renowned yoga therapist Robin Rothenberg designed The Essential Low Back Program for everyone, regardless of body type or previous yoga experience. The program consists of five developmental yoga practices which are thoroughly explained and illustrated in the accompanying booklet. Each practice lays the foundation for the next and is progressively more challenging. Readers can use the CDs and booklet separately or in conjunction with each other for ease of learning. Robin's soothing voice explains these gentle, yet effective practices with her trademark clarity. Her explicit explanations take the guesswork out of finding the appropriate body positions and provide a safe way to learn to relax, stretch, and strengthen the lower back.

Robin Rothenberg healed her own chronic low back pain and restored her health with yoga. She went on to become a celebrated Viniyoga teacher and certified yoga therapist, teaching locally, nationally, and internationally. She is the director of the Pacific Institute of Yoga Therapy and The Yoga Barn and is on the advisory board of the International Association of Yoga Therapists. Robin has been teaching yoga teachers for the last 10 years and most recently developed a training program to teach yoga teachers how to adapt their classes appropriately for their students with low back pain. Her work in the field of yoga therapy has been written about in the New York Times, Seattle Times, Yoga Journal, Fit Yoga, and Natural Health. Robin resides with her husband, and their four-legged friends in Fall City, Washington, where she teaches classes and works individually with clients.
