Who should attend?
This meetup is great for those in their 20's and 30's who have a bothersome back and/or other aches and pains due to injury and/or anyone who really wants to learn something they can do on their own to feel and get better.

Who is the teacher?
Evlaleah, Senior level teacher with 41 years experience, the founder of Yoga for BackCare in America, one of the founders of the Iyengar Yoga Institute/SF, the founder of the B.K.S. Iyengar Yoga School.

Why attend?
The Arthritis Foundation/UK 2011, in the largest research study ever conducted on yoga and back pain, found that therapeutic Iyengar Yoga is better than all conventional treatments for severe back pain.

What is a backcare-meetup?
• A yoga class, private consult, spine clinic and social gathering rolled into one treatment
• Individual guidance from a seasoned back specialist
• A prescription for a therapeutic home practice

What will I do?
Students learn precisely how to do 1 to 3 therapeutic poses appropriate for their resolving pain and preventing disability.

Your home practice
When students practice what they have learned at home, improvements compound.

Book back-to-back slots as needed
If you experience benefit keep coming back until all better.
