No matter the style of yoga you practice, the BackMitra is complimentary. The BackMitra is an ingenious foam strip that is effective, to release tension in the spine & is supportive with a regular practice in assisting to realign & reestablish the natural curves of the spine. While increasing mobility, breath capacity and health.As the BackMitra invites, a direct felt experience of your bones, to promote a profound release into gravity, allowing muscular tension to melt and is supportive to counteracting the “text neck,” &, “office posture,” and the habits we all fall into, of compromising our physiology & structure in amongst our busy & full lives. Using this prop regularly supports practicing yoga from the inside out. Less tension equates to more ease, optimizing mobility and inducing relaxation.
The BackMitra is not like anything you have ever experienced! Created by Guy Hamaekers in collaboration with Brigitte Longueville, the BackMitra is effective, safe and simple to use, and facilitates significant release through all the layers of the back & front body.

Back pain is often a result of vertebral mis-alignment. Throughout our daily lives our back muscles do the very best they can to support a poorly aligned spinal column, and in doing so, our back muscles can get into a permanent state of tension.
Even if you currently don't experience back pain, the BackMitra can still be a wonderful support in maintaining the functionality of your spinal column and its' natural curves - helping to restore any slight mis-alignments in your posture. Using this prop regularly supports optimizing mobility and inducing relaxation.

Testimonial: January 2023
I am 72 years of age. I've been doing various types of yoga for over 20 years.
Alexandra's BackMitra class has been the most effective practice I've found at releasing my upper and lower body. Neck and Shoulder pain have disappeared. Stiffness has improved. Gluteal tightness has released. It is such a relief to have regained flexibility and free movement. Thank you, Alex!

“I’m writing to say THANKS for offering a back-care yoga classes. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Alexandra’s sessions – she’s fantastic. I came to this as a complete yoga neophyte with a high degree of skepticism, but I have to say that my back has felt better since starting this class than it’s felt for a VERY long time. She is a great instructor, and this class has done more for my overall back health and general sense of well-being than really any other form of exercise or physiotherapy I’ve done yet!”
“Working with the BackMitra has definitely helped reduce the amount of pain that I regularly have in my back. I would recommend this class to people I know especially if they want to concentrate on their back and spine to help with pain and stress, my back felt better after every class. So very helpful in relaxing my back.”
“I was introduced to the BackMitra a few years ago by Alexandra at one of her yoga classes. I did not like it at first and resisted using it for quite a while and, then relented and got back on it. I FINALLY realized that it is a very important tool for the health of your spine, in fact, after a day of heavy gardening causing lower back discomfort, I immediately use my BackMitra for 10 minutes and I am back to normal. Otherwise the lower back discomfort will carry on to the next day."

Alexandra’s back care yoga class is nothing short of miraculous!
At the completion of Alexandra’s class I honestly feel like my body has been transformed and I walk out of the class with a completely new body. The deep release of the muscles and realigning of the spine makes me feel taller and freer. The stiffness and pain are always dramatically reduced and in some cases completely gone.
I have suffered from debilitating back and neck pain for many years as a result of a whip lash injury and earlier horse-riding accident. I have had treatment and followed treatment plans from chiropractors, physiotherapists, osteopaths, and various other muscular skeletal practitioners and never achieved sustainable results.
Since discovering Alexandra’s back mitra class I never miss a class. The difference it makes to my body is so remarkable . I cannot recommend the class more highly and the results you will experience after this class
….. As a bonus it is also the cheapest physical therapy I have ever had
