6 Yoga Poses For Your Back VIDEOS
Thinking about yoga for your back pain? Here are my favorite flows and stretches to take care of an achy back. You can practice these everyday. Try them in morning, before bed, or after a workout.
Alternating Spinal Balance: If you don’t have a dowel, imagine you’re balancing a pot of hot green tea on your back as you more through this flow 8-12 times.

Cat/Cow Flow: Inhale as you arch into cow and exhale as you round into cat. Complete 8-12 rounds.
Kneeling Lunge/Half Split Flow: Use blocks to maintain a neutral spinal throughout this flow. Complete 8-12 rounds each side.
Bridge Flow: Exhale to lift into bridge and inhale to roll back down. Complete 8-12 repetitions.
Supine Spinal Twist: Drop knees to one side while looking and reaching to the opposite side. Hold each side for 10 deep breaths.
Figure 4 at the Wall: Flex the foot to protect the knee. Keep the spine neutral on the mat. Hold each side for 10 deep breaths.
