Yes! Yoga can effectively relieve back pain by strengthening muscles, improving posture, and increasing flexibility.Key poses include: 1. Cat-Cow(Marjaryasana-Bitilasana) – Mobilizes the spine. 2. Child’s Pose(Balasana) – Stretches lower back. 3. Sphinx Pose(Salamba Bhujangasana) – Gentle backbend for spinal alignment. 4. Downward Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana) – Decompresses the spine. 5. Supine Twist (Supta Matsyendrasana) – Releases tension in the lower back. Note:Avoid deep twists or intense backbends (e.g., Wheel Pose) if pain is acute. Pair yoga with core-strengthening exercises, and consult a physiotherapist for chronic issues. Studies (e.g., *JAMA Internal Medicine*) show yoga reduces pain intensity better than conventional care for chronic lower back pain! (Tip: Focus on alignment over depth to avoid strain.) read less
