YOGA THERAPY COURSE - Hips & Lower Back 8 weeks - Term 1

Yoga Therapy for Hips & Lower Back — A Traction-Based Healing Journey. 11 February - 8 April



Designed and taught by Marcia Leite, a Brazilian Yoga Teacher and Ayurvedic Practitioner with more than twenty years of experience, this course offers a therapeutic and intelligent approach to releasing chronic tension, pain, and emotional holding in the hips and lower back. Using the precision of Traction Yoga with ropes, straps, and supported asana, all part of Iyengar Tradition, this program creates the space your body has been craving. Through gentle, sustained traction you will experience:



Decompression of the spine
 

Space in the sacrum and lumbar region
 

Improved mobility and stability in the hips
 

More balanced posture and freedom of movement
 

A calmer nervous system and deeper breath
 

Marcia’s work is grounded in her decades of teaching Iyengar Yoga, her studies in anatomy and Ayurveda, and her intuitive Brazilian warmth.
She brings a therapeutic eye to each student, guiding you safely through movements that restore alignment, strength, and ease.


Who this course is for:


Anyone with tight, painful, or restricted hips
 

People managing lower back discomfort, sciatica, or sacroiliac instability
 

Students wanting to understand their bodies more deeply
 

Yoga practitioners who want safe, precise, therapeutic traction techniques
 

What you will learn:


How to decompress the lumbar spine using traction ropes
 

How to stabilise hypermobile or unstable hips
 

How to strengthen the deep core safely
 

How to release long-held patterns of tension
 

Ayurvedic principles to support lower back and pelvic health
 

What to expect in each session

Each class includes:


Gentle warm-up to prepare the spine and pelvis
 

Rope traction for hips and lumbar release
 

Therapeutic use of straps and props
 

Guided functional strengthening
 

Deep rest to integrate the practice
 

You will leave each session feeling spacious, grounded, and supported from the inside out.
