Now that the pain has got my attention I’m being aware of exactly when I feel discomfort when I practice.
Using this awareness I’ve found that I’m in some pain doing my upward dogs during the vinyasas.
I’ve always had my head tilted back when doing this and it pinches my back unpleasantly.

So I’ve rather sensibly started keeping my head more straight and it’s made quite a difference to how my back feels after my practice.

Thanks Catherine.
