Many consider yoga as a way to enlightenment. For others it is an excellent form of exercise, ease stress, and remain fit. But for any reasons you opt to participate in yoga, and whatever kind of yoga is practiced - as there are many – you should understand that yoga is first and foremost only about balance.
For yoga-based exercises and poses, the most suitable for back pain relief is Hatha yoga. Hatha is a basically a physical type comprising of entering into particular positions called Asanas, while utilizing specialized breathing methods called as Pranayama. By following these at times simple at times more complex poses with the right breathing process, the practitioner can bring about major positive mental and physical alterations.
Many yogic exercises for back pain stress on stretching. For those suffering from lower back pain, stretching may be very essential. Stretching the muscles at the back of the thigh, increases the motion of the pelvis, thereby lowering pain and stress on the lower back. Yoga exercises comprising of stretching also focus on breathing which improves blood flow, thus letting in more oxygen and nutrients to enter the spinal tissues and toxins to exit thereby improving the health of your back.
Yoga prepares the body to be fit, supple and properly aligned. Proper spinal alignment is essential to health and wellness, and to reduce back pain. After some time, the yoga practitioner develops a sharper sense of body awareness. They become lot more aware about the physicality of their bodies and know more of its strengths and limitations. In such a way yoga enhances back health by increasing person’s awareness of movements and actions that can harm the back.
Actually few practitioners can tune out the pain totally. This is due to enhanced mental state a person can experience emotional and physical stress, though the problem may still be present.
