Absolutely! That would be a great program for you.

Two things to keep in mind… for people with a deep lumbar curve:

1. Your hip flexors will be very tight. Any class that works on stretching the hip flexors would be great for you, for example my [Hip Flexor Heaven](https://www.doyogawithme.com/content/hip-flexor-heaven-0) or [Yoga for Cyclists](https://www.doyogawithme.com/content/yoga-cyclists) or Rachel’s [Bow Pose: Hip Flexor Release](https://www.doyogawithme.com/content/bow-pose-hip-flexor-release)

2. It would be very helpful to strengthen our core, which are a group of muscles that help contain the deep lordosis and protect the lower back. Pilates is great for this and we have a lot of class on the site that you can start with, either with Kim Wilson or Kathi Ells. Begin with the Pilates Fundamentals: The Five Principles with either of them. You can find them by going to our [Yoga Classes](https://www.doyogawithme.com/yoga-classes) page and under the Style filter choose ‘Pilates’.

Take care,
