Yoga for the back combines muscle strengthening with work on spinal mobility. Stretches, torso movements and steady poses also engage your legs and abdominal muscles.
In this 15-minute class, you'll try “Seated Forward Bend”, “Dynamic Seated Side Bend” and “Reclining Alternating Diagonal Body Stretch”. In the seated forward bend, you'll feel a stretch along the backs of your legs. Fold forward smoothly, without jerking. You'll finish by lying down to rest.
Choose movements that don't cause pain. If you have recurring discomfort or a spinal condition, check the routine with a qualified healthcare professional.
