I’m tearing up watching the first section of this video, at the age of 21 I have had chronic back pain for over a year now, been to 4 doctors over 10+ appointments, had X-rays, ultrasounds, looked into ibs, diet, Endometriosis etc. all who have told me in the end “we don’t know why you have pain”. Now saving up money for an osteopath at the moment, but yoga has been the only thing that has helped (I’ve been doing for 3 months now). Thank you for talking about this!

I’ve actually been reading a different but similar book “the way out” by Alan Gordon, which is, as far as I could tell from reviews, a newer, more scientifically backed approach to the exact same idea. His patients have all been cured or healed dramatically as a result of somatic tracking, essentially a medical word for being mindful of your pain. It’s worked miracles already for me! I only found it because of this other book you mentioned, so thank you!

Need an mri to find out if you have a herniated disk. Mine is pushing on the nerve and cause my pain. This is my second time going thru this. In most cases it can be treated without surgery. Need to strengthen your back and core. Swimming helped me out alot.

I almost started crying listening to you, I also skated, surfed, snowboarded and played basketball a lot. I am now 25 and feel like my back has aged so much faster than the rest of my body. I can‘t sit still for longer than an hour before my back gets too painful. I felt so heard, thank you.

Two years ago i had sciatica, it hurt so much i could barely sit nor stand for 5 min. It affected everything in my life, from sleeping to stepping off the curb to walking….I had gone through all the treatments but not until i found Osteopath and that combine with acupuncture saved me. Tim was right, treatments are nothing unless you walk regularly. I was advised to walk 30 min everyday, but mindfully about how your body is moving, core and pelvis. Then walked 1 hour everyday. Almost a year later, I don’t even notice it anymore! I’m still trying to do the walks, but no need for any treatments now. Daily yoga also helps (body and soul). Thank you Tim for sharing your story.

Thank you all for sharing how these exercises have helped heal your lower back pain. I have started to get sciatic pain and lower back pain after I got my 1st covid vaccination. Back then I was doing nearly everyday hiking, walking up the mountain and doing hospitality work that required a few hours of standing and bending. I'm starting to think this is where I've caused stress and lower back pain and plus with the amount of stress I was experiencing at work. Last year I got and MRI lower back scanned and doctors told me I have hernia disc bulging, My doctor recommended two things I can do to help my lower back pain situation. 1. Is to have a surgery and I was recommended to see a specialist to see if I need a surgery. 2. See a physio to help me manage this pain with regular exercises. The past few years I have not been able to do physical activities that requires long periods of time standing and do cooking or cleaning around my house that requires quite a bit of bending., cause they totally devastate my back and legs to a point that I have to rest for a few days of doing any housework or movement, walking etc. for my back to heal up again. It's a horrible pain which I've mentioned to a work colleague of mine and he told me he used to have this problem too and told me about certain stretches and exercises that we can do and help heal and put the hernia disc back where it should be and decrease the pain. If it wasn't because of you folks I would have got a lower back surgery to try remove the issue, not targeting with the issue heads on which later on might end up causing more injury on my back and with movement overtime. I've heard stories about people that have had surgery for this lower back issue and years down the track it have continued to cause other neck spine back pain issues I don't want to have a lower back surgery ever, I think it's quite risky and can cause more issues than doing any one any good once these parts of our body is ever opened and allow parts of our internal bones or organs being touched through harsh surgeries.

Love the focus on accessible yoga for all - thanks for sharing your story and this gentle practice. Love figure four with the foot flat on the wall- so relaxing. Thanks, Tim!

Dude, I was utterly humiliated when I couldn't get the pain in my left hamstring and butt cheek to go away. It hurt so much to sit for very long. I think I injured myself doing yard cleanup this Fall. I consider myself a pretty serious yoga practitioner, but the pain and instability continued after months. I thought, "It's my body. I know best." When it continued, I sought help from an excellent PT who guessed it was a low back injury. Oila! It pissed me right off that I couldn't heal myself. I have always enjoyed your sense of humor and humility--you don't take things too seriously. Thank you for sharing.

You're so welcome

Thank You, Tim. I prefer this session. Some of the movements are similar to what I learned in my physio-therapies: In this session they are very well integrated in a smooth Yoga-Practise... Peter

@@yogawithtim Hi Tim. Im feeling some improvement already and will keep doing this video over the next few weeks. What do you recommend as your next video to specifically help strengthen the core after a bulged disc injury.

I’ve always had back pain. But with a healthy lifestyle and sport, I've learned to live with it. 3 years ago I had a very bad fall on the stairs at my workplace. Verdict: 2 fractured lumbar vertebrae, pelvic bone cracked. And I consider myself lucky because it could have been much more serious. Today I am quite well. I have practiced yoga and pilates regularly since... always. In my job as a teacher, good posture is an important tool. I have sequelae (compression of the lumbar discs) but I refuse to let them define my future activities. I completely agree with you that our emotions too often not expressed and buried, cause tension in our body (and mind). And as we are not used to listening to our body, these tensions only accumulate without being able to go out. A nice recipe for a pressure cooker! In our completely crazy lifestyle, we have the impression of being able to control everything and impose on our body our excessive ego. Being able to connect our body, mind and soul (and flaws) is an everyday job. And even when we know this, we tend to forget about it and... lose the connection... till we have to learn all over again to take care of our body, mind and soul! Thank you, Tim, for you videos and for sharing your experience. They help to ground me a lot. And boy, do I need a reminder now and then!...

Right on. Thank you Carine

Always had issues with L-5 left side. I followed the routine here- when I got to the windshield wiper part, both legs and then crossed single wiper, I felt and heard a pop in my lower back-L5 and now it feels so much stronger and no longer nagging me every other day- thanks

Nice work!

Thanks so much for sharing Tim. I've been following your channels since 2016. In 2017 I injured my back, nothing crazy just woke up after falling asleep on a long flight. I am also a big surfer, lifeguard here in honolulu, prone to extension and tall. L5 s1 and l4 L5 degeneration and retrolithesis, circumferential bulging. 30 yrs old. I was pretty excited about Sarnos book early on, and use some of his techniques to this day, but unfortunately I havent managed to overcome the chronic pain. Chiros, pt, acupuncture, talk therapy, etc. Ive since decided to double down on pt interventions, and a few months ago I decided to give up surfing until I figure out an approach that heals me. Combination of pt, talk therapy, dieting, but ugh...still no luck yet. Luckily the pain is only 3-5. Hopefully one day can attend one of your classes in oc! At one point I was attending your conscious movement community. You're my favorite yoga instructor on youtube. Really appreciate you sharing your story here and its nice to see everyone chiming in in the comments

Sorry to hear about your back stuff. Thanks! Hope to see you in person one day too. Have a good one

Lovely practice and a great reminder to take care of our bodies even if we don't have pain. Will share with my husband who does suffer from back problems and now I'm wondering if he's just angry! Yikes. Thanks Tim 🙂

Thanks Mike. There’s more runner videos on the channel. In the search bar on my site type in runner Then you’ll see all the runner videos 😉

This is an outstanding video. Thank you so much. I’ve been living with chronic lower back pain for 5+ years. A recent MRI showed bulging and protruding discs with narrowing of the spinal cord and spondylitis 😢 I’ve been doing these exercises three times a week for a few weeks now and can - for the first time ever - feel improvements already 🙏 I’m so grateful 🙏

@@yogawithtim Thoroughly enjoying the book too (Healing Back Pain by Dr John E. Sarno). Such a refreshing read, it makes perfect sense to me - I’ve long since questioned whether there’s a psychological element to my pains. Again; many thanks 🙏

Thanks Tim!

Welcome Sarah

Thank you for sharing your story, it's hard when that happens at such a young age because it doesn't cross your mind. I had cauda equina when I was 27, extremely grateful that I can walk, however the Dr diagnosed it too late & it left permanent nerve damage. Over 23 years it's led to degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, fibrosis of the nerves and arthritis. I had a big relapse 10 years later, that's when I was given the stenosis diagnosis, even though it was recorded in my medical records 7 years previously. However I went through an excellent physio program of hydrotherapy and then a back rehab class, which led me to yoga. Your videos have been a god send for me and have given me the confidence to chase my dream as a yoga teacher. I've always appreciated the attention to detail you put in your practices that other yoga teachers don't. Bought Dr Sarnos book. You'll never know how grateful I am for the knowledge you've put out there. You've certainly made a huge difference to my life, for that I owe you big time. Thanks Tim 🧘🏼‍♀️💜

​@@yogawithtimwhat a difference this practice has made! I was given strengthening exercises from a physio, they made my pain worse and knocked my progress back. I stopped the ones that flared my back up, clamshells and side leg raises, and stuck with this practice, I've done some standing and upper body practices on my in between days, but boy has it help me recover. I'm able to do my fave poses again, it's magical and I'm at the point where I'm ready to start teaching. I've got so much faith in yoga and wish more health experts understood why it's called a practice and you adapt the poses to suit you, not the other way around. So many get caught up in how the pose is supposed to look or sometimes see them being taught wrong and they assume that's how people are going to practice. I feel they underestimate the intelligence of people who choose yoga to heal their back problems. Anyway, thought I'd give you an update on my progress after a month. I appreciate all that you do Tim 🙏🏼🤍
