Yoga and back pain

Yoga postures, asanas, proposed above will make your back strong and flexible. By practicing regularly and correctly, yoga can help you get rid of your backache. Remember that yoga should never be forced into a posture. Every asana should be done in a relaxed state, focusing on his own breathing. Warning : do not do these exercises if you have a sore back!
