I’m looking for a yoga instructor who can help my Dad with some back pain issues. He’s around 65, the latest MRI shows his lower back is pretty out of whack. Ideally I’m looking for an instructor who has experience with older people and/or lower back problems. Any recommendations?
How many sessions are you looking for and at what frequency?
And has your father bought in or is he yet to be sold?
More background: his back is misaligned near the bottom vertebrae, his back specialist also mentioned a pinched sciatic nerve.
We are considering once a month, right now he is willing to “try it out” so I’d imagine he’d do 3-4, and if it provides relief he would continue to do more. He is a diligent person so he would practice regularly on his own in between sessions. The main reason he’s expressed interest in yoga is because I told him maybe it will provide more lasting relief as opposed to temporary methods, but I’m not 100% sure on that. Overall he’s open minded, and is willing to try it together with modern medicine, chiropractors, acupuncture, etc.
Is Ventura too far?
We should talk about this further.
Consider sending me a PM.
