How can yoga help low back pain?
Yoga is a mind-body practice that addresses both the physical and cognitive factors that influence back pain.
On a physical level, yoga can increase strength, stamina and flexibility, helping you to return to doing whatever you need to do, whether it is cycle to work, carry your kids or get through the day at your desk.
On a psychological level, yoga can facilitate relaxation and promote greater mind-body awareness, helping you to address fear, anxiety and stress that may be contributing to your ongoing back pain.
