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.
This 30-minute class includes “Alternating Vertical Stretch”, “Chair Kriya in Deep Squat” and “Seated Forward Bend”. 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.
