Desiree Rumbaugh

We all have habits and some are better than others. If you have chronic back pain anytime during the day or in your practice, check your posture. It can be that simple and yet it will take some work to change. In this class we will be working to change our patterns using strength as well as myo-fascial release to create new ways of moving. If you experience back pain during this class, ask yourself if it feels like injury pain or just stiffness. With stiffness it is common to have some "discomfort" when doing cat cow or lying over a block. The integration of abdominal strength with any kind of backbending exercise will ultimately relieve the pain. Get ready for a new lower back experience!

I learned how to maintain the healthy lumber curve. This is actually challenging for me. Thank you!

This class is the best one I ve had with clear instructions so as to not hurt my back more. I ve had herniated discs since I was 19, over 30 years now and I ve finally done a cobra without feeling pain in my lower back! I am amazed! I can t believe what I needed was a good instructor providing clear instructions as to how to move my back and abdominals, as well as what to do with the rest of the body and keep breathing. Wow!! Thank you so much! _/\_

I found the initial cueing with the strap a little confusing, but overall, it s a good practice. I loved how she cued to get in and out of poses safety. I have a lot of low back popping and cracking, and when I followed her cues, I had very little popping and cracking.

I messed up my back muscles while cliff jumping back in July and I ve been doing a bunch of different stretches to help relieve any of that tension since then. For this class, I did my best to follow the instructions, but my back feels more aggravated after this class, especially after the very last pose - I didn t quite understand what to do and my back was simply not having it.

There were a lot of detailed instructions in this, which I appreciated, but I sometimes found myself getting confused, but that s just me, personally. I can see why others would find this to be a beneficial class, I just found myself getting frustrated

Fabulous cues and descriptions of what motions need to happen and why lower back pain occurs in the first place.

Wow. Wow. Cobra actually felt amazing. Bridge felt amazing. Savasana didn t require bent knees with feet on the floor. Being intentional about putting a curve in my back makes a big difference.

If you re looking for a class with flow, this is not the one to choose. But, if you re looking for poses that will help your back, the instructor does an amazing job walking you through how to perfect poses like cat/cow, chair, folds, bridge, etc. properly in order to strengthen your back. I took the class after tweaking my back and while it didn t feel like I was doing much in the class, when I was done, my back felt SO much better!

wonderful back awareness. I have been practicing for many years and the cobra pose with the belt was an eye opener. I feel longer. Thank you

I learned some new ways to do things in Desiree s class. The way we got into cobra made a huge difference in my back pain in the pose (though coming out of it hurt). Also, I loved the ab work we did in the beginning where we push our knees away while keeping the back on the floor. That was hard and I was shaking all the way through! That tells me I need to do more of it!
