Are you tired of dealing with persistent lower back pain? If so, incorporating yoga into your daily routine might be the key to finding relief. Yoga offers a holistic approach to alleviating lower back pain by focusing on strengthening, stretching, and improving flexibility in the muscles that support the spine. In this article, we’ll explore a series of effective yoga exercises tailored to target lower back pain, promoting both physical and mental well-being.<\/p>\n

Understanding Lower Back Pain<\/h2>\n

Before delving into the yoga exercises, it’s crucial to understand the common causes of lower back pain.
