Yoga Poses To Relieve Lower Back Pain – Weekly Advanced Class 82

This class is based around poses that help to relieve lower back pain. It is the third in our series of classes that help to promote a healthy spine. The class begins with some poses that help to remove muscular tension from the lower back. From there standing poses are practiced with your feet in a diagonal stance. This encourages the sacrum to move in, and the spine to lengthen away from the pelvis. Chair twists help to improve your spinal rotation. Several variations of the supta padangusthasana reclining leg stretches are then included. The class ends with some gentle poses using the support of two chairs that will be ideal for combatting inflammation in the lower back. Savasana is practiced in a prone position. Blankets are positioned in this pose to help release and relax the muscles associated with the lumbar spine.
