The lower back can be a sensitive spot for many people, which means lower back stretches should make up a key part of your movement mix.
That's true whether you're looking for lower back pain relief or you're ache-free but want gentle stretches as a way to strengthen lower back muscles. That's where yoga for the spine-and those other all-important back areas-comes in.
While there can be a ton of causes of low back pain, a weak core and poor posture from sitting all day (and consequently shortening the hip muscles that then pull on the lower back) are two really common contributing factors to lower back aches and discomfort. And yoga is one exercise modality that can target both of these things.
The movements-and the isometric, or movement-free, holds-used in yoga can help you build both strength and mobility, both of which play a role in reducing low back pain.
Yoga is great for working on flexibility and core stability, correcting posture, and breathing-all of which are necessary for a healthy back.
