Whether you sit at a computer all day or are stuck in traffic, chronic back pain is a common complaint. These gentle yoga exercises will help stretch the mid-back, lower back and spine and help ease pain and discomfort from sitting all day. These yoga exercises will also help strengthen the back and spine as well.
Instructions
1. Sit on a yoga mat or in a chair and bend from the waist. Bend forward slowly into a Forward Fold Pose. Move closer to the ground so your fingertips are resting on the floor. For a deeper stretch, place your palms on the ground and stretch your lower and mid-back and spine. Inhale and exhale through the nostrils to the count of three. Slowly stack your back one vertebrae at a time as you straighten your back until you are standing or sitting straight. Repeat this exercise twice.
