Beyond the Curve
About six months prior to this discussion I resume my weekly runs. However, with every run, no matter when and how long I stretch, my lower back is stiff and slightly painful after. For most of my adult life, I’ve experienced stiffness and mild back pain when standing for more than a half-hour The natural curve of my back is a bit exaggerated and I thought that back pain was natural. Something that came along with my shape.
Plunge: My first Yoga class
Enter Josianne, a fitness-buff friend of mine who’s a personal trainer and teaches yoga. She runs and does everything in between AND is on my case to try yoga. Liking the flexibility that the “yoga-people” I know tend to have, I eventually decide to give yoga a try. I take my first yoga class four months later. It is intense but I have fun holding my body in different positions. There is this ONE pose that keeps coming up all the time though. Downward Facing Dog. We seem to do this more than any other. I don’t think much of it….at first.
Downward Facing Dog
However, I come to the conclusion after about four sessions, that there is something special about this Downward Facing Dog pose. A few days of research later my suspicion is confirmed. This particular pose is said to help to relieve headaches and insomnia. It improves digestion, lessens back pain and strengthens the body in many other ways. I decide to use this yoga training to work all those muscles. The ones that don’t get worked when I lift weights or run. Five weeks into my Yoga practice with one class per week and I find that I can stand longer without the backaches! Also, now my back feels fine after a long run and I’m just on my fifth class!
