How it works
Combines stretching, strengthening, and body awareness. Reduces fear-avoidance beliefs, improves core and hip flexibility, and trains the nervous system in non-threatening movement.
Evidence is for specific yoga programmes (Iyengar, viniyoga, hatha) — not all styles are equivalent. Not appropriate during an acute severe flare. Start with a qualified instructor.
Cochrane review found yoga produces significant improvements in back pain and functional disability for chronic low back pain, comparable to other exercise interventions.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
