>After watching your video on low back pain I subscribed to your blog. I was sitting at my computer feeling tension in my lower back. Can’t wait to get home and try the poses. Hi from Topeka, KS.

>Aloha,
Thanks for the tip!
You mention you are also training for surfing. How is the surfing going? What kind and size of board do you ride?
I just spent two days surfing in south OC and what a difference being raw makes in terms of energy – so much lighter and relaxed.
Surfing in the raw is great!
Best,
Rob

Longslider: I used to ride a7’2″ fun board in Hawaii. In So Cal I have done a little long boarding, but I haven’t been out in forever! I gotta work on my paddling strength. Surfing is so fun and a great way to get in shape. 🙂
Holly: I hit my 2 lb goal and then messed it all up this past week. I should have busted out the camera when I hit it, but I didn’t. So, double the efforts this week…Darn scale…LOL.

>Lori – I truly luv your intention here. It's really great for you to offer some help as so many people have some type of low back pain at some point. However, I must caution you that much of what you are demonstrating is not appropriate for beginners, those who are out of shape and others. For example, the down dog & standing forward bend poses: suggest you offer option to bend the knees for those who find these poses challenging, for example. otherwise, one could really strain themselves. I am not trying to be critical. i totally luv your videos, your caring heart, sweet space and beautiful being. But proper training and/or experience is important when guiding others in such matters. Just my 2 cents as a yoga teacher & athletic trainer. Peace!!

>Kendra- Thanks. Your comment cracked me up! 🙂
Paul- I thought about that afer I posted this. My goal was to share what I do to relieve my back pain and I am aware that not eveyone can do what I did. I plan to make more videos and I am sure my communication will get better.

>Lori, I hesitated to comment because, as I said, I really understood your intentions. I was not suggesting an improvement in your communication at all; rather, a caution when ‘dabbling’ in giving advice in an area outside of one’s expertise or complete understanding. Maybe I’m making too much of this? After all, I did not comment that you needed to be a ‘relationship expert’ or a certified raw food chef in your other videos? It’s just that I’ve seen too many people get hurt: what works for one body or back may not work for another’s. Caution not criticism is what I’m suggesting.

>Paul- I do have a background in group fitness, personal training and injury rehabilitation in addition to manual therapy. I do understand your caution and I appreciate your thoughts. We both get each others point :). Thank you for your helpful insight.

>Hi Lori-
Love your blog…..But I must make a slight criticism……As someone who rehabs backs for a living, and knowing that most people have flexion imbalances (rather than too much extension, like you)…..This advice will probably help 30% and send the other 60% farther into dysfunction. I used to do the same thing until I developed disc protrusions from it-
cheers-
Mike

>Mike- Thank you for your insight. I made the video to show one of the many ways I help my low back. I know not everyone has my situation. I will be posting future videos discussing more on low back pain since you and I both know there are a ton of scenarios that contribute to the imbalance. 🙂
Cherry- Thanks for following me here from G Living! Let me know if this helped at all.
