App Description

"Yoga for Back Pain" provides a structured series of yoga poses which aim to improve flexibility and strength, and reduce back pain. Whether you have lower or upper back pain, these exercises will improve your lumbar function and may provide relief for backache.

According to ancient Ayurvedic texts, back pain is caused from lack of proper exercise and excess stress. The exercises in this app were chosen because they strengthen the spine. In yoga there is an axiom, “you are only as old as your spine”. Keep your spine young and flexible with “Yoga for Back Pain”.

“Yoga for Back Pain” draws upon traditional hatha yoga and was formulated by an expert in ancient yogic methods. The program guides you through several yoga poses while emphasizing correct breathing methods. As you become accustomed to the exercises, you can change the settings from beginner to intermediate, for a longer more effective session.
