How to modify yoga poses for lower back pain

Thanks! At 73, I miss doing the Cobra. I have IBS-C which I theorized and was right that, tight psoas and hip flexors aggravate it Today I read up and psoas on right side is so close to appendix, and tight hip flexors can aggravate colon. In 1975 I was only 24 but I used to call my lower right quadrant pain that accompanies my IBS, "my fake appendicitis." Thanks for a compromised version of the Cobra! ❤

Super helpful!!!

I'm not disagreeing with any of this but just using yoga as a relief for lower back pain is not a long term solution. It's really useful to look at the type of pain, your fixed ideas about it, perhaps where you store trauma, and most importantly…if you move in a way that is unintentionally intended to protect your lower back – this leads to loss of muscle mass and only makes the problem worse. You might need to strengthen your lower back not just stretch it. If you are getting SI joint pain then back off on the stretches.

Is it alright to do just half cobra until the back is more flexible then move to full if the tension is not that intense anymore?

So helpful!

Great tip on the cobra for lower back pain. I have a slipped disc in my L5-S1 and I was doing Cobra the traditional way (cos I kept reading that Cobra's supposed to help with lower back pain) but it made my back so much worse. Took alot more research and phyiostherapy before I finally learnt the right way to do Cobra – ie as you explainrd – that helped me

Yoga mat affordable which one

Is best always, with back pain, to pull self up to cobra, not with a hurtful way, to push, isn't it..?

💖💯💖 thank you. My flexibility is so much better modified. 💖🙏💖

Thank you 💯💯

I need modifications for chronic neck pain😅

I’m perpetually humbled & inspired by the ways yoga meets us where we are in the present. In the process collaborating & illuminating our geometry along with our regression & progression. I had blocks placed in a T below my shoulder blades in Shavasana… 👨‍🍳💋

My old back thanks you! 😊
