Yoga with Ellen: Core, side body, and low back

Arthritis At Home (+ On the Go)

In this episode of #ArthritisAtHome, we are sharing Part 2 of the Yoga with Ellen series. Ellen Wang, ACE’s Programs Coordinator, takes the audience through a 20-minute yoga sequence that is focused on the trunk area including the core, side body and low back. Engage the core, lift out of the pelvis, and build some heat as you flow through seated movements. Then Ellen combines her practical knowledge and experience to guide the audience mindfully to the yoga mat. Learn to access postures that are commonly uncomfortable for individuals living with arthritis. All you need is a chair, pillow/cushion and yoga blocks if available.
