Teachers will be able to revise and extend their knowledge of the workings of the spine looking at the likely causes of low back pain and the practices that can exacerbate these conditions. During a tutor lead practical session teachers will explore modifications they can make to accommodate a variety of back problems and practices that will aid recovery and help maintain a healthy back.

Maureen started teaching in Yoga in 1994 gaining her British Wheel of Yoga Teacher's Diploma in 1997. She then studied Yoga Therapy with the Yoga Biomedical Trust where she specialized in Lower Back Problems.
