I have been doing Yoga regularly some days back but has stopped it before 5 months due to lack of time.I am suffering from back pain for past 3 days. Please suggest some asanas for quick back pain relief ! Also suggest some regular asanas to restart with Yoga.
Thanks,
Ramesh
If you are looking for quick… don’t look into yoga.
I believe all postures, done correctly, is great for your back. Seriously.
To help you get started, being an ashtanga practitioner,
i recommend 5x suryanamaskaA
And 3x suryanamaskarB then savasana 6days a week… Takes 10mins… Consistency is key
The best way to get back into yoga is to[B] go to a class with a properly qualified teacher.[/B]
Asanas to relieve back pain…totally depends on how and why your back is hurting.
Have you seen a doctor or therapist for a diagnosis for your back problem?
Once you know what the problem is a therapist can give treatments and suggest exercises to recover, a properly qualified and experienced yoga teacher will be able to recommend what asanas to do …but only after knowing what the back issue is.
Thank you pinoyvegasyogi420 ! I will start doing suryanamaskar . Between , what is difference between suryanamaskaA and suryanamaskaB ?
yogacambodia,
I have learnt Yoga already from a Qualified teacher , about a year back . I have not seen the doctor or therapist for my back pain. Sitting in front of PC continuosly for past 15 days will be the problem , I guess … with no rest ! I have not got any such so far . Can you suggest some asanas to restart my Yoga exercises ? Thanks .
Rameshit… Suryanamaskar A is 9 steps, while B is 18 steps…
These 2 different exercise works every single joint in the body… Begin this and you may add a few or more asanas that you would like. But it is important that you do suryanamaskar A+B to start six days a week. Even if you that alone.
YouTube suryanamaskar and you will find plenty good information.
It’d be ideal - if you start doing a few simple and basic asanas (under someone’s guidance):
Shalabhasana (3 sets of 30 sec each)
Ramesh,
General terms do not beget specific and accurate replies.
When the student says “back pain” there are a myriad of questions a good yoga therapist would then ask. Some low back pain is muscular. Some low back pain is actually an issue in the low front. Some is due to being sedentary while some is due to being active in an aggressive, careless, or mindless way.
Each of these, for a Yoga therapist, has a different approach AND none of those approaches are ONLY asana. While we do live in a world of prescribing something which makes pain “unfeelable”, asana is not one of those pills.
If you care to expound on the issue that would be helpful. Such a sharing would include the location and nature of the pain, it’s frequency and duration, what makes it better and worse, and whether it is more painful in the morning/evening and when standing/lying down.
