Answer 
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.)
