Yoga is a relaxing therapy for the mind and body that also helps people deal with pain-related issues in the body.
These days, work often requires too much sitting or sometimes too much standing, basically too much of everything. This has resulted in an increase in cases of low back pain which can now also be seen in people in their twenties! It is universally known that yoga is a calming, relaxing and useful therapy for the body that can also help with chronic pain problems. Practicing yoga for a few minutes every day can help improve your health.
6 yoga asanas for lower back pain
Chakravakasana or Cat-Cow Pose
This gentle and accessible backbend stretches and mobilizes the spine. Practicing this pose also stretches your torso, shoulders, and neck. For this, one needs to get on all fours and place the wrists under the shoulders and the knees under the hips. Inhale as you look up and let your stomach drop towards the mat. Exhale as you tuck your chin to your chest, draw your navel in toward your spine, and arch your spine toward the ceiling.
Adho Mukha Asana or Downward Facing Dog
This traditional forward bend can be relaxing and rejuvenating. Practicing this pose can help relieve back pain and sciatica. Helps resolve imbalances in the body and improves strength.
child pose
It may look like you’re resting, but Child’s Pose is an active stretch that helps lengthen your back. It’s also a great de-stresser before bed at the end of a long and tiring day. Start on all fours with your arms stretched out in front of you, then sit back so your glutes (buttock muscles) rest just above, but not touching, your heels.
bridge pose
This yoga pose helps to strengthen your body and also improve balance. It is said to be one of the most useful positions for heart block. Lie on your back and place your feet wide apart. Now, press your feet down firmly and get up off the mat. You can place your arms at your sides with your palms facing down on the floor.
Bhujangasan
Also known as Cobra Pose, Bhujangasana primarily targets the abdominal region. Helps in blood circulation, strengthens the back and promotes heart health. You have to lie on your stomach, stretch your legs and lift your chest with both hands at your sides.
