Yuva Yoga - Yoga for Lower back

and the role of our feet.
Happy Monday !
I hope that you are enjoying the summer holidays.


I have been in pain with my lower back for a little bit of time now.

Some of the most common reasons people experience lower back pain are a result of everyday habitual behaviour.

Sitting too much, not moving enough, overarching or tucking pelvis under, or back pain may even be a result of an accident or injury.

I could say that I am the victim of such ailment also and although my understanding is limited I know, at least, the things that make it worse:

  • Sitting down for prolonged periods of the
  • Periods of uncertainty or stress
  • Running or high impact activities.
  • Poor posture, but not in the way you think. I tend to over extend my knees and that results in over stretching the hamstrings, in response I overtuck my pelvis under.
I designed a practice that focused a lot on this "overtucking action" of my pelvis.
I initially spent a long time during the last week resting and observing for things that made my lower back feel good in order to gain a better understanding of what was going on. plus I was in pain and "stretching" felt like a struggle, but
HERE IS WHAT I MADE EARLIER

What I learned during this past week though is that pain is limiting and it is pretty fruitless to suggest to those in pain that stretching or asana will help. It was also something I learned during my recovery from transplant surgery too. Pain must be addressed first before stretching or strengthening a muscle, and it is limiting to one’s full recovery.

Let me know what you think, hit reply.
How do you address lower back pain with yoga practices?

Big love and have a lovely week.
