ROB HEWIT, SOUTH AFRICA ROB I just wanted to compliment you on your writing skills.
Your lessons have really impressed me, simple clear, intuitive and inspiring. I think its one thing teaching a class with all the non-verbal cues available, but to put this into words, to be used cold by a million different types of students - now that takes a different type of skill! Im glad i met you now before you get too famous and wont have time for one on one e-tuition. By the way, I really like the bit about starting small with ten minutes and allowing it to develop into more; thats such good advice and I believe its something that will work for most people. I think your approach is intelligent.

Motivation
Lesson 1
Youve requested this The Yoga for Back Pain Lite because you either have a back problem or you have a friend, relative or loved one who is suffering and you want to help them. Anyone who has had back pain, whether short or long term, will know that it can affect every level of your life and, before you know it, youve adapted your life around your back problem. Often we are not aware how we change our lives to accommodate pain - it can be quite insidious and can sneak up on you without you even realizing. Sometimes its only when you look back you realize that youve given up all kinds of activities that you love. Maybe its walking, gardening, dancing or a sport. This was what made you feel alive.

Bend the knees so the feet and knees are hip width apart and the soles of the feet are flat on the floor 13 As the posture says, surrender yourself to the floor

Lesson 2
Not Bedrest!
Welcome to lesson two. Do you remember in lesson one I talked about how a back problem can impact on your life? In this lesson Im going to share with you how it impacted on mine. Im also going to show you how I turned it round and ended up with a new vocation. I am really proud of how I not only turned my injury into something positive for myself, but also went on to help so many people in similar situations. When I first injured my back I thought it would get better on its own - but, sadly, it didnt. The only solutions my doctor could offer me were bed rest, pain killers, surgery and cortisone injections into my spine. I was only 30, at the peak of my fitness, and well-known for my fitness classes in my London community.

Lesson 2
Not Bedrest!
Suddenly I was unable to work, and before long, Id spent all my savings going to the osteopath, having massages and a plethora of other treatments. Eventually I had to cancel my very popular fitness classes, and money was now tighter than ever. I kept hoping the osteopath would make me better, and the treatments helped enormously, however, I found for the most part, the treatments would only give me temporary relief, and the pain would soon return. As you read in the previous lesson, I found Scaravelli Yoga, and thus began my healing journey.

About Joys Teachers
Lesson 3
Welcome to lesson three. I hope you enjoyed lessons one and two which talked about how back pain can impact on and spoil the quality of your life. I also pointed out that with appropriate yoga exercises, posture, pain and function have a good chance of being improved and your quality of life can be greatly restored. Remember this is not a quick-fix solution, but the results, when successful, are long-lasting and permanent. Its normal to expect an improvement in function and flexibility before the pain finally subsides. In this lesson Im going to talk about the technique, my teachers and some background information. While my back was in recovery, I was very careful and only did yoga in a very slow and precise

way and worked with the guidance of my teachers. This is the technique Im going to teach you. Since my recovery Ive studied many different styles of yoga including more energetic practices such as Ashtanga, and was also a pupil of John Scott, author of The Definitive Step-By-Step Guide to Dynamic Yoga and The Primary Series. I give thanks to all my teachers for their support and wisdom. I have learnt something from each and every one, but the people who set me on the road to recovery in the early days were a group of talented teachers who worked closely with Vanda Scaravelli, author of Awakening the Spine.

John Stirk, osteopath and author of Structural Fitness and Sophy Hoare, author of many books including a recently published Article on Vanda and of course, not forgetting, Margaret Stokes and Kathy Hughes who were my teachers for many years and helped shape my practice. There were many more amazing teachers, but its not possible to name them all. Those who were fortunate enough to study under Vanda developed their own unique style and it was this individuality that Vanda encouraged her students to bring to their work. Vanda truly was an inspiration to the world and although, sadly, she is no longer with us, her influence in the yoga world is now greater than ever. Although Vanda encouraged all her pupils to develop their own style there was always one theme running throughout. She would say.

About Joys Teachers
I am 5 2 and I felt like I towered above her, but her aura seemed to be bigger than all of us. She had bright, twinkly eyes which looked into your soul. She exuded love, confidence and knowledge and meeting her was an awesome experience for anyone who was lucky enough to spend time with her. Vanda was still practising yoga until she died in her late nineties but she hadnt had an easy journey with yoga. She had a problem with her spine when she was young, and when it was detected she was advised to study yoga. Later in life she was convinced that if it wasnt for yoga she would have ended up in a wheelchair. Like many people who come to yoga later in life, she needed healing. In spite of this, she studied hard and went on to become one of the worlds most highly acclaimed teachers and her physicality was astonishing.

BKS and Desikachar are two of the most important yoga gurus in India and their impact on the world has been massive. Vanda then went on to develop her own style, which was based on the teachings of her Gurus.

I talked about my teachers and how they have influenced me. I also shared that many of us came to the practice because of our own injuries and our need to heal ourselves. As I explained in lessons one, two and three this is not a quick fix solution, but the results, when successful, are long-lasting and permanent. I also talked about what you can hope to gain from doing the exercises in The Yoga for Back Pain Toolkit and that its normal to expect an improvement in function and flexibility before the pain subsides. In lesson four we are going to look at how to make time for yoga and will also be doing another simple exercise which you can also practice daily to kick start your new regime. Dont be too ambitious at the outset. Set a time thats realistic. Its best to make a habit of doing 10 minutes a day. We can all

You will find that over time you will look forward to your practice and that 10 minutes will naturally become 15 then 20 minutes or more before you know it. In the beginning you have to make room for yoga in your daily life, and give it the place it deserves. But after some time yoga itself will pull you up by the hair and make you do it.

The Yoga for Back Pain Toolkit literally takes you by the hand and walks you through the postures. It is a complete audio, visual experience.. It also teaches you how to combine this breathing technique with simple postures, which is what makes it such an amazing dynamic process. There are 60 postures in the Yoga for Back Pain Toolkit and this Toolkit Lite is only the tip of the iceberg. Did you know for example that the lungs have more tissue in the back of the body than the front, and if you learn to breathe into the back of the lungs, you can open the spine and unblock stiffness? The Yoga for Back Pain Toolkit is packed full of useful information like this, and as you move towards a new and pain free life, you will enjoy all the other benefits that a daily yoga practice can bring.

I would like to thank all the teachers who set me on my path to recovery: Kathy Hughes, Mary Stewart, John Stirk, Sophy Hoare, and Margaret Stokes. I went to classes three times a week and I also incorporated a daily practice into my life. Over time, I learned how to work with my back, and what worked for me, and what didnt! Eventually my yoga had improved but my back pain was still there. As long as you are progressing in your practice, its only a question of time before the level of pain should lessen. Mary said to me one day Youve been through a lot. If you train to teach you could help a lot of people.

Its now 20 years on since I injured my back and Im leading a normal, happy active life. I dont know exactly when it happened, but I realized one day that a whole day had passed and Id hardly even thought about my back. A miracle had occurred. The amazing thing about pain is it can be overwhelming, but the minute its gone, how quickly you forget. Im still deeply committed to my practice and to teaching yoga.
