Yoga Poses To Relieve Back Pain

Start this pose the same as the Low Lunge.

• Right foot forward and hands placed on the mat.
• Put your right foot towards the left hand while lowering the knee over the right hand.
• The outside of the right calf is placed on the mat parallel to the front. Lower the back knee, bringing the shin to the floor.
• Place the arms straight and the hands flat on the mat.
• Intensify the stretch by lowering down to the forearms or even more, lay over the front leg.
• Stay in this pose for more than 30 seconds on each side and try to concentrate on the deep breathing.

8. Double Pigeon Pose

The final pose that will assist you to feel comfort.

• Sit on the mat with legs crossed, left leg in front.
• Use your hands to grab the left ankle and place it over the right knee, by gently pulling the ankle.
• The shins are stacked with the left leg on top.
• It’s ok if the right knee gets lifted, as the hips open, so will the knee lower.
• Intensify the stretch by walking your hands slightly forward.
• Stay in this pose for more than 30 seconds on each side and try to concentrate on the deep breathing.
