Product Description
Thirty-one million Americans suffer from low back pain. There is hope though. The Essential Low Back Program offers clinically proven relief. Seventy-eight percent of the participants of a recent National Institute of Health study who followed The Essential Low Back Program experienced a significant reduction in their pain levels in just 12 weeks. In addition, they gained life long tools to help keep their backs strong and restore their overall well-being. Nationally renowned yoga therapist Robin Rothenberg designed The Essential Low Back Program for everyone, regardless of body type or previous yoga experience. The program consists of five developmental yoga practices which are thoroughly explained and illustrated in the accompanying booklet. Each practice lays the foundation for the next and is progressively more challenging. Readers can use the CDs and booklet separately or in conjunction with each other for ease of learning. Robin's soothing voice explains these gentle, yet effective practices with her trademark clarity. Her explicit explanations take the guesswork out of finding the appropriate body positions and provide a safe way to learn to relax, stretch, and strengthen the lower back.

Practice Yoga at Home! May 29, 2009
Sara Harris (Seabeck, WA)
This CD set is one of the closest things you can get to having a personal daily yoga class in your house! Robin's combination of stretching and strengthening the muscles in and around the low back has helped me immensely on the path to understanding and healing my own back pain. The practices are designed for someone who has little to no exposure to yoga, although I still find them essential and effective after practicing for over ten years. Aside from the practices themselves, there is also a very helpful introduction to the anatomy of the low back and how breathing and relaxation affects the body's relationship with pain. I recommend this book to anyone who would like to start a gentle yoga practice at home, and as a valuable teaching resource for yoga instructors and bodyworkers!
Best information I have found on understanding back problems March 25, 2009

This book has the best layman's information for understanding the physiology of the spine and how it relates to the rest of the body of anything I have found. I was diagnosed with scoliosis over 30 years ago and have worked with MDs, Osteopaths, Chiropractors, Physical Therapists, Yoga Teachers and Personal Trainers and never gotten the information I needed to really make and maintain positive changes in the health of my lower back till I started working with this book. The author had done an excellent job and I would recommend this to anyone, no matter what level of restriction or pain your experiencing. I wish I would have found it sooner.
For Yoga Teachers, Too! February 17, 2009
yoganan (Crystal Lake, IL, USA)
Yoga teachers, do yourself a huge favor and buy this, ASAP. Buy it for your own practice, so that you may learn from a master "teacher of teachers." Buy it for your students, so that you can learn these tried & true, proven methods for working with low back pain.
I've worked with these sequences in my own practice, and learned so much, even though I've been practicing yoga for 20 years, and teaching for 18 (ten of those years under Robin's direction), and am certified at the 500 hour level by the American Viniyoga Institute. I continue to use "Yoga for Low Back," both in my own personal practice, and in my teaching. But if you can't study with Robin, this is the next best thing. Her voice will clearly guide you through the practices. The text & photos in the book will help illustrate what you hear. And your back, and your students' backs, will feel blissfully better.
Robin's given us a gift January 30, 2009
Charlotte Nuessle (Ashland, OR, USA)
This is a great resource. Robin has given us a gift in this CD/book on Yoga for Low Back Care. As a Viniyoga therapist I have been trained in applying these tools of Viniyoga for persons with low back needs. The book/CD set has positively contributed to a deeper understanding of the muscular system and of how the tools of the program are effective in bringing relief for low back care.
Robin's " Essential Low Back Program" October 29, 2008
Barbara Kochendorfer (MI)
The Essential Low back Program brings relief and joy to angry low backs. This is a complete restorative and rebuilding program. First, Robin relaxes and relieves the tension that has built up from back pain, then she masterfully rebuilds the strength needed to have a healthy back.
After doing the first CD I felt relief and after completing the entire program as instructed I was without that nagging low back painful companion.
The program is easily understood and a pleasure to do. The combination of Robin's wisdom with her yoga are priceless to anyone sincerely interested in improving their health.
