Many people suffer from back pain due to poor lifestyle choices. Back pain is common these days among people who sit for long hours at work, have poor posture, and don’t have exercise habits. But yoga asanas can help. There are certain yoga poses that, if practiced diligently and daily, can help relieve back pain. According to renowned yoga and holistic wellness expert Anshuka Parwani, these poses help “stretch and strengthen” the lower back muscles, “increase flexibility” and “reduce tension.” Parwani has shared some key asanas and their variations on Instagram. Check them out here.
Extended Camel Pose
In this asana, a variation of Camel Pose, you start by sitting on your mat. Balance on your knees, stretch your legs behind you, lift your torso and bend backwards, touching your heels with your hands, as shown in the video. Then, keeping your heels pressed down, return to the starting position and repeat the movement several times, arching your spine and hips.
Extended One-Armed Camel Pose
Similar to the previous asana, in this version of Camel Pose, as shown by an expert, you touch one foot while stretching your upper body and arms. You can also alternate your hands to stretch both the left and right sides of your body. Lift your hips and return to the starting position, similar to the previous asana.
Seated Dynamic Twist
In this yoga asana, sit on the mat with your legs bent. Twist your torso to one side so that you are touching your back. Alternately move your hands and twist to the other side. This creates good pressure on the spine and releases tension in the lower back muscles.
Bhujangasana Raise
In this variation, start by straightening your legs and using your arms to raise your torso up into the standard Bhujangasana pose. Then lie flat on your mat and come back up again. Do not move your lower body. This exercise only uses your upper body.
Open-Knee Child’s Pose
Bend your knees and stretch your torso into child’s pose. Lower your head until it touches the floor. Extend your arms as well.
