Class Description

This slow, supportive class is perfect for those navigating low back pain, recovering from injury, or looking to strengthen deep postural muscles without strain. Designed by Doraine from her own healing journey, this wall and chair-based practice focuses on building back-body awareness, hip stability, and core confidence through grounded, functional movement.

You’ll Explore

• Gentle pelvic tilts, bridges, and supine twists to ease tension in the low back

• Bird Dog, kneeling lunges, and scissoring actions to activate hips and glutes

• Standing balance work (tree pose + external rotation drills) for hip precision

• Wall-supported Warrior II, Triangle, Side Angle, and Half Moon to build strength with alignment

• Chair-assisted transitions and back-body lengthening (Warrior III & Down Dog variations)

• A supported spinal twist and elevated legs-on-chair Shavasana for full-body integration

This class is ideal for those with sensitive backs, hypermobility, or anyone seeking to rebuild trust in their body. Doraine offers accessible, anatomy-informed guidance that encourages listening inward, moving gently, and progressing at your own pace.
