Yoga for Back Pain in the UK
Careful yoga for a back that has had enough of sitting
A stiff lower back is often the long bill for years of chairs, car seats and sofas: tight hips, a weak core and a spine that has forgotten how to move in every direction. Our Therapeutic Yoga track works on that pattern slowly, with a mentor who knows your history before you roll out the mat and who leaves out anything your back should not be doing.

Careful yoga for a back that has had enough of sitting
Search for back-pain yoga and you will find videos full of deep forward folds and strong twists, exactly the movements someone with a disc problem may be told to avoid. A generic video cannot ask what your doctor said. A live mentor can, and builds the session around it, choosing supported, pain-free ranges over impressive shapes.
The UK is the easiest overseas timezone we teach into, and British families make heavy use of that. A 4:30 PM class in London is 10 PM in Bengaluru, so we can offer weekday after-school batches to the UK that simply are not possible for North America.
Your back history and medical advice collected before the first class
Poses chosen and modified for disc and sciatica concerns, with risky ones left out
Gentle core and glute strengthening to support the lower back
Small live batches so the mentor watches every movement of your spine
Batch timings for the UK
Live classes on GMT, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
After-school weekday batches, 4:30 to 6:30 PM UK time, are the most popular option and the reason many UK families choose us. Saturday morning batches run as well. The clock time we quote is your local one, and it holds through the BST and GMT switch.
London and the surrounding counties lead, with Harrow, Wembley, Croydon and Slough the areas we hear from most, followed by Leicester, Birmingham and Manchester.
What you walk away able to do
A short, safe daily sequence you understand and can do alone
Better awareness of how you sit, stand, bend and lift
A stronger, steadier core that supports everyday movement

Three simple steps to begin
1. Tell us who the class is for
Call or WhatsApp us and say who is joining and where they are starting from. For yoga for back pain that matters — the mentor pitches the first class to their age, body and experience.
2. Personal guidance from a mentor
A real, live class, not a sales call. The mentor works with you for the full session and then tells you honestly whether this is the right class and batch of ours.
3. Pick a slot that fits your week
We place you in a batch scheduled for GMT, around work, family and daily routine rather than across them.
“Timezone was our biggest worry. Smriti Samskara made it effortless, the Mahabharata class fits perfectly into our London evenings, and the storytelling quality is simply exceptional.”
