Why "Tar Pit" Yoga?

When chronic back pain, carpal tunnel, or sciatica flares up, traditional medical instincts say to fight, brace, or immobilize the body. But like struggling in a tar pit, tension creates more tension.

Tar Pit Yoga approaches pain through desensitization, non-strenuous somatic motion, and fear reduction. By restoring blood flow and retraining brain-to-body neural pathways, thousands of programmers, writers, and artists have achieved permanent, medication-free recovery.
