Lower Back Pain is unfortunately pretty common. It can be challenging to find gentle yet effective poses to help relieve lower back pain without causing a flare up.
This lying twist is one of my favorites for times when my lower back is feeling tender or vulnerable.
If you deal with chronic back pain, it’s important that you only move within a range of motion that feels safe to you and won’t make you sore tomorrow.
So, your movements might be much smaller than what you see me do in this video. It’s important to honor where you are today.
In the video below, I’ll walk you through this twist reclined Deer pose often called ‘windshield wipers.’
Happy Practicing!

Thank you so much Nyk! Having had chronic lower back pain for most of my life, it will be nice to try this out and see if it helps. Looking forward to it!

You are a wonderful instructor, explaining why, how and demonstrating! I hope to catch you next class and a cowboy surrender!

I love that twist. It always undoes the “knot”.
As always, thank you.
