Yoga Poses to Relieve Back Pain

Chronic back pain is becoming more common. I have terrible alignment and it causes me to have a lot of back pain. I have tried several remedies for back pain relief, but Yoga has seemed to help me the most! I have been doing yoga for almost a year and a half and my back has never felt better. I have tried several different stretches and have come up with a list of my favorite and the most helpful!

1. Downward facing dog
2. Pigeon
3. Wall Plank
4. Fists forward bend
5. Child's pose
6. Cat/Cow combination
7. Laying half-twist
8. Cobra
9. Locust
10. Legs up the wall
