A YOGA teacher is running a course for sufferers of back pain.
Anna Semlyen, from Yoga in York, is running private lessons and courses aimed at helping people who suffer backache.
The classes tackle the issue through better posture, stronger abdominal muscles, looser hips and more awareness in everyday activities. The yoga poses involved are all designed to be safe and easy to do.
The Yoga for Healthy Lower Backs programme was studied by researchers at the University of York, who found a 70 per cent reduction in time off work for back pain sufferers involved in the study.
Anna Semlyen, who is recognised as a specialist in back care by the British Wheel of Yoga and is running classes either as private lessons, or group courses in York.
Back care classes run from Tuesday, January 13 at 7.15pm off Fulford Road in the city.
She is also running general yoga classes in York. For more information contact Anna on 07891 989310, email; anna@yogainyork.co.uk or visit yogainyork.co.uk or yogaforbacks.co.uk for more information.
