Yoga For Back Pain Relief: Traction, Space, Support – Weekly Intermediate Class 387

This 60-minute class is designed to support spinal health while offering a safe, effective practice for those experiencing lower back discomfort. Originally developed for a student recovering from a back spasm, the sequence includes a carefully curated blend of poses that create space, traction, and softness in the lower back. You’ll explore gentle standing poses such as Trikonasana and Parsvottanasana to promote spinal alignment and balanced mobility, along with soothing seated and standing twists that gently unwind tension. Reclining poses like Supta Padangusthasana further support the release of tightness in the lumbar region, while the class concludes with therapeutic restorative postures, including a lower back-focused variation of Viparita Karani, to encourage deep muscular release. This class serves as both a well-rounded practice for general spinal care and a go-to sequence for times when your back needs extra support and sensitivity.
