Yoga can be great for alleviating back pain!
By holding various poses, specific muscle groups throughout the back become stronger. Many yoga poses offer a gentle approach to strengthening both the back and abdominal muscles—both of which are essential to a healthy spine. When your back and abdominal muscles are strong, it helps you maintain proper posture and movement, reducing back pain. 

While yoga is an extremely effective tool for alleviating back pain, it’s still a form of exercise, meaning injuries can still occur. Most commonly, injuries occur when people move through poses too quickly, failing to activate their core muscles and rather “dropping” into a pose. This leads to improper form and can increase the risk of injury. 

As with other forms of exercise, when doing yoga, it’s always best to make slow, controlled movements rather than racing through a sequence.  Specifically, if you are new to the practice, it’s important to take things slow, as you probably don’t have the foundation of strength needed to execute the poses at 100%.
