SILVER SPRING, MD; January 15, 2008 —Acacia announces the April 8, 2008 DVD release of Yoga to the Rescue for Back Pain, with celebrated Anusara Yoga teacher Desirée Rumbaugh providing simple effective ways to relieve and prevent back pain. The DVD is the follow-up to Desirée’s successful debut with Yoga to the Rescue: Feel Good From Head To Toe, released in September 2007.

According to the National Institutes of Health, back pain is one of the most common medical problems, affecting 8 out of 10 people at some point during their lives. Too much time at our desks, in our cars, and watching TV adds to back stiffness, soreness, and pain. But you have more power to heal yourself than you know. Using her extensive background in yoga therapeutics, Desirée has designed an easy-to-follow program gentle enough for beginners and focused on relieving pain as well as general wellness.

Starting with a simple standing pose, Desirée leads you through a series of therapeutic yoga exercises that will improve your posture, ease pressure, relieve tightness, increase circulation, and make you stronger and more flexible. She clearly explains each pose and shows both the right and wrong way to perform key movements, so you know just what to do. Fellow Anusara teacher Andrew Rivin demonstrates alternate, easier positions so you can choose the one that’s best for you. Before long, your aching back will be a thing of the past.

Desirée Rumbaugh is a certified Anusara teacher and studied with Anusara founder John Friend. She travels the globe teaching workshops and retreats. Full of enthusiasm, joy, and positive energy, Desirée’s style is playful and transformational.
