A comprehensive approach to understanding the spine, working skillfully with back pain and scoliosis, and applying yoga with confidence for yoga teachers, health care practitioners and individuals alike.
Led by Author and Educator Rachel Krentzman PT, C-IAYT, MBA, Happy Back Yoga blends therapeutic alignment, physical therapy principles, embodied awareness, and personal transformation for healthy backs and resilient lives. Recognizing that chronic back pain is often influenced by stress, protective patterns, and life demands, this work uses alignment to support both structural integrity and the nervous system’s capacity to let go.
Rachel Krentzman’s life is upended when her Orthodox rabbi father is imprisoned, pushing her to question faith, identity, and belonging.
Leaving behind a rigid community, she seeks freedom as a single mother, only to realize she cannot escape her past.
Through yoga, she begins an inward journey that leads her across continents and into deep self-reckoning.
As Is is a story of healing intergenerational trauma and learning to accept oneself—fully and honestly.
