Today we're diving into a topic that hits close to home for many of us, lower back pain
0:08
But don't worry, I've got you covered with some amazing yoga poses that can help alleviate that pesky discomfort
0:14
So, let's say goodbye to lower back pain with these effective Santosha Yoga poses
0:19
First up, let's talk about why yoga is so beneficial for lower back pain
0:24
Yoga helps to stretch and strengthen muscles that support the spine, improve flexibility, and promote relaxation
0:31
This holistic approach addresses the root causes of discomfort, rather than just masking the symptoms
0:38
Our first pose is the Cat-Cow Stretch. Get on your hands and knees with your wrists directly under your shoulders and your knees under your hips
0:46
Inhale, arch your back and lift your head and tailbone towards the ceiling
0:51
As you exhale, round your back and tuck your chin towards your chest
0:55
This gentle flow helps to warm up the spine and release tension in the lower back

Next, we have the Child's Pose. Sit back on your heels, spread your knees wide and fold forward, bringing your forehead to the mat
1:08
Extend your arms in front of you or let them rest alongside your body
1:12
This pose is incredibly soothing and allows your lower back to decompress
1:17
One of my personal favorites is the Pigeon Pose. From a tabletop position, bring your right knee forward and place it behind your right wrist
1:25
Extend your left leg back, keeping your hips square. Fold forward over your right leg and breathe deeply
1:32
This pose targets the hips and glutes, which can contribute to lower back pain when tight
1:37
Now let's try the Sphinx Pose. Lie on your stomach with your elbows under your shoulders and your forearms on the ground
1:44
Press into your forearms to lift your chest, keeping your shoulders relaxed
1:48
This gentle backbend strengthens the lower back and improves posture. Finally, we have the Supine Twist
1:54
Lie on your back, hug your knees to your chest and then drop them over to one side
1:59
extending your arms out in a T-shape. Turn your head in the opposite direction and breathe deeply
2:05
This pose releases tension in the spine and massages the lower back
2:09
Remember, consistency is key. Incorporate these poses into your daily routine and you'll start to notice a significant improvement in your lower back pain
