As we continue to explore more guided meditations on the podcast, today’s show is extra special because I’m walking you through a new kind of body scan practice—different from what we’ve done in previous episodes.

While the typical body scan focuses your attention to a single point in your body (your hands, your shoulders, your feet, etc.) this practice I’m walking you through today will guide your attention to two points, allowing you to explore the space in between and around them. So find a safe, comfortable place to sit or lay down as I guide you through this 15-minute body scan practice to hear what your body is communicating.

On today’s episode we’re exploring back pain and, specifically, why I don’t use the Uttanasana yoga pose as a means of reducing that pain in my clients. In short, it’s because the results aren’t consistent enough.


Join me in discussing back pain, how such pain is actually an expression of the actual problem, and the alternatives to Uttanasana—some of which aren’t mechanical and instead may be yoga nidra, breathing, and rest.
