Yoga for Lower Back Pain: Strengthen, Stretch and Relax Your Back I
David has spent much of his adult life understanding how to heal his lower back pain. In this class, David takes you through a beginner level yoga class that shows you how to strengthen your core to protect your lower back (including the transverse abdominis), how to use yoga stretches, or poses, to heal the lower back and how to use relaxation to speed up the healing process. The lower back stretches alone can cause great relief and the three approaches together will ensure that it lasts. This is the first of a 2-class series. The second class is Yoga for Lower Back Pain: Strengthen, Stretch and Relax Your Back II.

David, would using the rolled up towel for sensory feedback also work when doing your Yoga For Sciatic practice? Thanks for your great practices!
Thanks for this class. I’ve had an acute recurrence of lower back pain , unable to sit comfortably and with the muscle spasms that not only hurt but also tend to lead to some generalized anxiety and tension. I’ve been following the DYWM relaxation classes which are very helpful. But this class is the most helpful, gentle enough for me but still getting those stretches that my tense muscles needed. As I write this I am sitting Comfortably! Thanks again for this wonderful site.
That helped me today so much! Thank you! Wish you good health!
I think its important to have a towel that doesnt roll up too thick - for the sequence where you need to lift off the towel, i couldnt push down with my tailbone, so i switched to a thinner towel, or rather a pillow case, and it felt a lot better.
Great practice for core stability, and preventing those niggling back problems
Cheers Dave :)
