LLOYD'S TESTIMONIAL

I am happy to give a testimonial for your book because coming to your Thursday classes and introducing me to your teacher, Mary Stewart, made a difference to my physical wellbeing that I will always be grateful for.

I'd always been really fit and played football and squash on a regular basis, however, about 15 years ago I developed an acute back problem that was so crippling, I couldn't even touch my toes. As for playing football, well forget that!

At that time, just sitting still on a chair was a challenge. When you saw how much pain I was in, you encouraged me to come to your yoga class but I was sceptical. However, the pain got so bad that I decided to give yoga a try. After all, I thought, what have I got to lose? One night, it was so bad, I decided, I would just turn up at the class.

I have to admit, initially, it was a real challenge. I couldn't do half the things that others in the class could manage. However, as I got to know the group, I realised that everyone had their own individual problems, and they encouraged me to keep at it.

It wasn't easy confronting my limitations, and it was hard for someone like me, whose buzz was high performance sports, to be patient in terms of results. However, Joy created an environment which was supportive and friendly and we learned how to help each other and have fun too. Over the years the class became a really important part of my life, and this was completely unexpected. To my surprise, I found myself wanting to practice on my own, and even to this day, I still practice and enjoy the benefits it brings.

Attending your Thursday class Joy, completely changed my life, for the better, and allowed me to return to playing high performance sports e.g. squash and football, which I still play today. It's a tribute to your teaching that you inspired me to take yoga into my life and make it work for me.

Yoga for Back Pain Workshop: Time to Heal Yourself

Tue, 24 Mar 2009 09:55:15 GMT

Joy's Yoga for Back Pain Workshop, is the answer if you are still wondering how to get rid of back pain naturally. And this is not a baseless claim. As a matter of fact, this is not just a theory anymore. Foremost authorities in the medical field have confirmed that yoga can indeed help in treating upper and lower back pain, including neck pain. On top of that, millions of people can attest to the fact that they have greatly reduced, if not totally eliminated their back pains just by practicing yoga. With this in mind, attending any of Joy'sYoga for back pain classes should give you not just hope, but actual recovery as well.

Joy's Yoga for Back Pain Workshop, is made up of mini-courses that will teach you how to adopt the very elementary and the most complex postures which will help you deal with your back problems for good. Each back pain class that you attend - and the entire workshop series itself - is designed for beginners and no prior exposure to Yoga is required. Indeed, if there is any requirement that you must have before you can join her workshop, it�s that you must have recurring upper and lower back pain.

Joy's Yoga for Back Pain Workshop, has been founded on the belief that each person�s back problem is unique. Hence, if you are worried about how to get rid of back pain naturally, the answer is by gently and cautiously attending to your own back problems. But she is not simply giving you the fish here. She is actually teaching you how to fish by providing you a self help for back pain sufferers. After attending her workshop, you will be able to take care of your own upper and lower back pain, including neck pain.

For Joy's Yoga for Back Pain Workshop, there will only be 10 pupils and 2 trained teachers to handle the class. That means you will surely spend time individually with an instructor who will show you the important postures and even useful breathing techniques that can soothe any excruciating seizure of pain in your back and neck areas. You will also join a select support group that will help you straighten out not just your lower back pain or upper back pain, but also the emotional drag that has been brought about by your back problems. Truly, it�s about time you put a stop to your back pain. Join Joy's monthly workshop at any time.

The next Yoga for Back Pain Workshop, takes place on the 28th March 09 from 10.00 to 12.00 at Joyoga Studio 11 Mervan Road, London SW2 1DP.

Solution to Sleep Disturbances Caused by Back Pain

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 03:42:15 GMT

Living with back pain can often have major repercussions on ones life, and only a back pain sufferer can really understand the misery of living with this condition. Many people find that their sleep quality is seriously affected and lack of sleep can often exacerbate this condition. People can get caught in a cyclical pattern of sleep deprivation and stress. There is little more depressing than being in constant pain topped by endless, sleepless nights. If ones sleep was improved, the body would have more chance of healing itself, and the sufferer would get some respite from their misery.
Many back pain victims become desperate, and feel they have no choice, but to resort to traditional sleeping pills; sometimes nothing else will do. However, when it comes to sleep, you have to be aware that many pain killers are not compatible with sleeping tablets and should not be taken together.
Ideally, it is always better to not depend on medication as there can be long-term complications. The more medication one takes, the more one starts to rely on it. It's always worth trying some natural techniques first. They may or may not work for you, but it's unlikely they will do you any harm and are a much safer alternative.
There is a new music and sound technology available called binaural beats, and it is becoming hugely popular. Research has shown that these rhythms can help to reduce anxiety, and this technology has helped literally thousands of people fall asleep faster, and sleep more soundly. The binaural beats needs stereo separation in order to work effectively, as the signals are targeted to the right and left sides of the brain. The only way they work successfully is through stereo headphones. Of course it's not very comfortable to wear traditional headsets in bed, so headphones for sleeping in were invented! SleepPhones are so comfortable that they are called Pajamas for your Ears.
You don't need to have back pain to enjoy SleepPhones. They are so soft and fleecy, it will be morning before you know it!

Russian Mineral Salts ease Back Pain

Sat, 17 Jan 2009 23:39:48 GMT

Magnesium for Back Pain

Galina St George, Natural Health Practitioner,
http://www.naturalrussia.com

Magnesium is probably the most important mineral for every living organism. It takes part in over 300 chemical reactions in the body and is part of the 'energy' molecule ATP. It participates in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.

Magnesium is the ultimate relaxant for all the body tissues. However, multiple research has shown that most of us are severely deficient in this vital mineral. Its deficiency often leads to a reduced elasticity of muscles, tendons, ligaments and muscle spasms. This makes us more prone to back injuries.

There are different types of back pain

ACUTE
CHRONIC

Chronic Lower Back Pain lumbago is especially difficult to treat. Magnesium has shown remarkable results when used externally on people with both acute and chronic back problems. Not only does it reduce the pain by relaxing muscle spasms and nerve excitability, but also heals tissues, thus making a treatment profound and long-lasting.

Transdermal applications of magnesium chloride have been proved to be a highly effective way to treat back problems and supplement the body with this important mineral. Rub on the skin, spray all over the body daily, use in compresses, baths, body wraps to ensure the best results. Magnesium chloride used externally is safe it is only contra-indicated to people with acute kidney problems. Best results are achieved with regular applications once a day, before bedtime as a guideline.

Bishofit is the best form of Magnesium chloride, since it comes from underground deposits of salts formed from evaporated ancient seas free from modern pollutants while being very rich in minerals.

New Bag, New Back!

Thu, 16 Oct 2008 11:26:44 GMT

The Healthy Back Bag is the world's first "backbag". Designed to ease the back pain experienced by one in three UK adults, it has both style and health in mind. A feat of ergonomic design, the one-strap backbag contours to the natural curve of the spine and makes a heavy load feel significantly lighter.

The Healthy Back Bag does for bags what the likes of Birkenstock and Crocs have done for footwear in making it cool to be comfortable.

About The Healthy Back Bag Company

Developed with the help of a chiropractor and a doctor, The Healthy Back Bag's patented teardrop design efficiently distributes weight across key touchpoints through the length of the whole bag. This differs from standard shoulder bags which pull from one point on the shoulder. The result is to vastly reduce stress to the back, shoulders and neck. The backbag can be carried on either shoulder, across the back or across the chest, always allowing easy access to the inside without having to take the backbag off. The 'non-slip' strap lining prevents the annoying slippage common to most shoulder bags.

Every backbag features smart and inventive details, from the clever compartments, key hook and branded zipper pulls through to the signature silver lining that makes for stress-free rummaging.
Priscilla Chase, UK director of

The Healthy Back Bag Company explains the idea behind the backbag: 'All of us often need to carry heavy loads, but until now this meant putting up with stress and strain to our backs. Now anyone can use a bag designed with a sound medical rationale that looks good too.'

View the full range of Healthy Back Bags at The Healthy Back Bag Company Prices range from 27 pounds to 69 pounds in various fabrics and from 85 pounds to 139 pounds in leather. Alternatively, click here to see our Online Brochure

I was hired to do the voiceover work for the audio version of Yoga for Back Pain and as I started the narration, I found myself drawn into the book and the wonderful concepts presented there to ease not only back pain in general, but for lower back pain and neck pain as well! These exercises for back pain are phenomenal! Anyone looking for relief from back pain and or neck pain needs to turn away from the medicine cabinet and pick up a copy of the book Yoga for Back Pain.

I never considered yoga for lower back pain, which has been my problem. But Joy's book really explains these exercises for relieving back pain in a way that anyone can understand. This is a user friendly book for anyone looking to use yoga as their exercise of choice for relieving backaches and other pain. There are so many companies that offer all sorts of remedies for back pain, but I havent found anything that makes as much sense as Yoga for Back Pain.

If youre suffering from back pain, you have to buy this book; then get out your mat and start on the path to pain-free living!

How Yoga Got Rid Of My Back Pain

Sat, 28 Mar 2009 00:10:14 GMT

For as long as I've been in the fitness industry, I've always put off trying yoga because it looked like it was just stretching, and I never really saw anyone that was truly fit doing it.

It wasn't until I tried the P90X power Yoga DVD that I became hooked! I loved how intense it was and how I was stretching, elongating and
strengthening muscles didn�t normally work. The core twisting postures felt as if they were releasing any impingements in my hips and lower back. The balance postures help me tackle an area of my fitness that I had never really tapped into� Isometric exercises and working on balance.

I had herniated a disc back in August of 2007 while training for one of my upcoming motorcycle races. I got relief after some Inversion and chiropractic treatments. I still felt little twinges here and there on occasion that just let me know I wasn't out of the woods with my back pain.

It wasn't until I started doing Yoga that I noticed the occasional twinges going away. I can abuse my back to no end with my training and motorcycle riding as long as I do yoga 1 - 2x per week in conjunction to my normal workout program.

I'm a big believer in Yoga as the one way to stay back pain free. I've been a personal trainer for 10 years and I've finally been grabbed by the Yoga bug. I love power yoga and I've recently begun doing Bikram Yoga. I love it. It's not as intense as power Yoga but just stretching in the 103 degree room helps you become even more and more limber. I actually wore my heart rate monitor last time I was in there and I averaged 140 beats per minute during the 90 minute class.

Yoga is a great addition to my current strenuous workouts. I don't think that anyone who practices yoga 2x per week could have back pain. The
flexibility and strength that it gives you in your hips, lower back and muscles is incredible. I also agree with Joy that there's nothing better for healing the body of muscle imbalances. I've identified many imbalances in my hips and these would have certainly caused me great pain and injury in the future.

As the owner of a personal training company that serves the Maryland, Washington DC, and Northern Virginia area www.achieve-fitness.com I've been recommending yoga to all of our clients and trainers.

A newly holistic approach for the NHS?

Mon, 15 Sep 2008 12:00:18 GMT

The NHS is often criticised for failing to take a holistic approach to health and wellbeing.

There are some signs that this may be changing - free yoga classes will be offered at five new 'super-sugeries' due to open in London over the next five years.

It was announced this week that every primary care trust in the Capital will build a so-called polyclinic as part of health minister Lord Darzi's NHS reforms. The first five will spring up in Harrow, Hounslow, Lambeth, Redbridge and Waltham Forest.

Each clinic will be linked to a local GP practice, allowing doctors to refer patients to the super surgeries.

Early signs are that the new centres will take an inclusive approach to health - as well as yoga classes, services will include physiotherapy, gyms, ultrasound scans, and weekend appointments.
It's too easy to say how the yoga will run, and which polyclinics will offer classes - but this is a heartening move that indicates a growing acceptance of the broad benefits of yoga to the community at large.
