Patrons of a yoga studio in Wilton say its classes can reduce stress on the lower back.
Ariana Royer experienced chronic back pain for five years following a car accident. After surgery and other treatments left her disappointed, she began taking classes at Yogapata on Danbury Road.
She says the classes have helped both her mind and body, and she has finally alleviated her back pain.
Mitchell Bleier, who owns Yogapata with his wife, Tracy, says their form of yoga relies on postures, strives for body alignment, and uses the glutes.
Bleier says their form of yoga is meant to be accessible to everyone, including older people for whom balance has become a challenge.
