Style: Yoga for the back

Yoga for the back strengthens and stretches all muscles that are responsible for a healthy, vital spine in a way that minimizes stress and compression to the spine. The exercises are done in a slow, steady rhythm so that one develops a heightened awareness of all the sensations within the body. This allows one to experience the deeply relaxing benefits of yoga. Due to the gentle and focused nature of this course, it is also beneficial for those who are currently not involved in any active exercise program but wish to start. Go to the Yoga for the back page.

Teacher: Fredric Bender

Fredric has been teaching yoga for 20 years and has been co-director of Centre de Yoga - La Source since 1995. He started yoga in 1987, took the Sivananda teachers training in 1990 then taught at the Los Angeles Sivananda center for several years. Due to his own back injuries before yoga, he developed a sequence of yoga variations that form the cornerstone of his popular yoga for the back program. Go to Fredric's page.

Location: Kirchberg

The Coque's "espace polyvalent" is convenient, spacious, clean, and surprisingly quiet for our yoga classes at lunchtime in Kirchberg. Go to the Kirchberg page.

Arrival:

Please arrive at least 10 minutes early at reception so that Fredric can give you an entrance ticket which you will also need to exit. The first time, a fellow student will show you to the changing room and "espace polyvalante". If you are late, you can get a ticket at reception and ask a security guard to show you down. There are mats there, but only 20 for some 30 students, so if you have an exercise mat, please bring one.
