Gentle Hatha Yoga for Lower Back Pain
4035 Followers
This short yoga class teaches you how to care for your lower back. David takes you through a self-massage routine and a series of stretches that release key muscles responsible for the tightness around the hips, legs and back that are associated with lower back pain. Note: you need two tennis balls, an old sock, a strap and a bolster. Check out this video to see how to make a bolster at home.

I am working to recover from a lower back/hip injury that causes stiffness and pain. Doing this class took my pain level from a 8 to a 3. Thank you David! I love starting off the class with tennis balls and ending in recovery on a bolster. FYI, I paused the video to add in a figure 4 stretch on each side.
Well, that was amazing! Can't believe I've only just found this class- I'll be returning to it regularly! Thank you!
I have two lacrosse balls that I have used for my back in the past. Would it work to use those instead of tennis balls?
Within the first minute of starting this class my lower back/hip pain just about vanished. Bless those tennis balls, they were key. I was actually crying with relief when I was able to sit cross legged at the very end. Three days of pain and limited movement had stopped. I can't wait to tell my physical therapist.
