"Modern life can be tough on your back. Hours-long commutes, days spent hunched over laptops, and the constant curve of necks and spines as you fixate on your phone make back pain a universal experience. Practicing yoga for back pain relief is all about undoing all that straining with targeted stretching and strengthening. Yoga teacher Taylor Lorenz's accessible yoga for back pain flow features seated and reclined poses, which are ideal whether you're loosening up"
"To begin, come into a comfortable seat. You can choose to kneel or sit in a cross-legged pose, with or without the support of a block beneath your sit bones. Allow your palms to rest on your thighs, facing down for grounding or upward to invite more opening and relaxation. Stay here for 7 cycles of breath. Seated Upward Salute Inhale as you raise your arms overhead."
Modern life, including long commutes, prolonged laptop use, and forward neck posture, commonly causes back and neck strain. A 12-minute yoga sequence uses seated and reclined poses to target tightness and build supportive strength. Practices emphasize breath awareness sent to the areas of greatest stretch and recommend remaining in relieving poses for as long as needed. Movements include Easy Pose, Seated Upward Salute, Seated Side Bend, Dynamic Heart Opener, and Seated Twist with guided breath cycles. Gentle progression and immediate easing at any sign of pinching or sharp pain help maintain safety and therapeutic benefit.
