6 Effective Yoga Poses To Ease Lower Back Pain

#5 Supine Twist - Supta Matsyendrasana

Instructions:

Step 1: Lie on the floor in a supine position with fully extended arms and legs. Position your arms on the sides, perpendicular to the body.

Step 2: Bend the left knee and cross it over the right leg. You could use your right arm to apply pressure on the bent knee. Turn your head to the right while performing this motion.

Step 3: Hold the pose for thirty seconds and return to the initial position.

Perform the same motion on the other side to complete one rep. Repeat the pose for the recommended number of times.

Important tip: Beginners facing any difficulty should not force the knee on the floor as it could turn out to become counterproductive in relieving lower back pain.
