You notice a student wince in class. Your heart skips a beat. You freeze, unsure whether to adjust, caution, or say nothing…

Back pain is one of the most common and misunderstood challenges in yoga. Many teachers default to bracing, stabilising, and extra instructions. The reality is that for a lot of students, more effort equals more pain.

This workshop introduces a radically different approach to back pain. It is research-backed, trauma-informed, and proven in NHS and UK police wellbeing settings. It is the same method we teach in-depth on the Postgrad Back Care & Mental Wellbeing course.

You don’t need more anatomy or complicated exercises – you need to understand pain and teach in a way that reduces fear, tension, and threat.

Led by Nanna Coppens, this upbeat, myth-busting experiential workshop offers a completely new perspective on teaching people with back pain, grounded in real-world practice rather than theory alone.

In 90 minutes, you will:
– explore soothing myofascial movement techniques
– feel your own back release tension you didn’t even know you were holding
– discover why trying harder backfires
– learn simple, safe ways to include students with back pain
– feel ready to transform your classes immediately

For yoga teachers who:
– teach mixed-ability or general classes
– want to feel prepared and confident when pain shows up
– are ready for a fresh, holistic approach to back pain and emotional stress

Stop teaching from caution.

Start teaching from clarity.
