Based on 30 years of distinguished work in yoga therapy, Gary Kraftsow's new Viniyoga Therapy DVD series presents his acclaimed use of yoga postures and breath techniques to promote sustained back health. The DVDs are based on his book, Yoga for Wellness, and the protocol he developed for an NIH research study that demonstrated the potential of yoga therapy for treatment of low back pain.* Gary’s expertise is now available over the counter—no prescription necessary! Back pain is an enormous problem in this modern age. Over 70 million people will experience back pain in their lives, and it is the most common cause of job-related disability. As the 2nd most frequent reason for primary care visits, back pain costs over $100 billion/year in the US alone. Clearly there is a need for a better way to reduce and eliminate this debilitating condition. In this first DVD, Viniyoga Therapy for the Lower Back, Sacrum and Hips, Gary focuses on the main causes of pain, and the best methods to reduce and eliminate the problems that most people experience. This includes a presentation on the underlying causes of the most common problems in the lower back region, as well as a workshop demonstrating the postures and safe ways to approach them. Gary also guides two focused practices that are targeted on specific problem areas, as well as a practice designed to promote sustained strength, flexibility and health for the entire area.

This approach to yoga evolved out of the teachings transmitted by T. Krishnamacharya and T.K.V. Desikachar of Madras, India. Highlights from the DVD include:
