Yoga For Lower Back Pain | Yoga With Adriene 

Throwing it BACK to YOGA FOR LOWER BACK PAIN today. Share with someone you love or enjoy this healing sequence for yourself! #preventativecare #findwhatfeelsgood

Adriene I was in great low back pain. My lower back hurt when I sat, laid down, or walked. I was seriously thinking I may need surgery. A friend of my suggested yoga, I found your video on lower back pain. After 4 days of repeating this video I felt like a different person. I now practice with this video twice a week. This old man who thought the practice of yoga was a bunch of nonsense is now a believer. Thank you for saving me.

I've created a RU-vid account just to leave this message. In July 2019 i was climbing a loft ladder that turned out wasn't fixed properly, it broke from under me and I fell about 8 feet straight onto my back, fracturing my spine. I've come across your videos and I cannot begin to put into words what they've done for me. I don't know if you'll ever read this but I feel like I needed you to know what a huge positive impact you've had on my every day life. I trawled through yoga videos, and always found them to be very impersonal and stand offish. When I stumbled across yours I felt so relieved and relaxed, like i was doing yoga with an old friend. My pain is better every day and often i can feel it working literally as I'm doing it. No other youtuber has had that impact on me. It's become my new lockdown routine to have Adriene in the morning and before bed. Your humour and wit has me laughing during the poses sometimes! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for changing and improving my world. X

Such a small thing to be proud of myself for, but when you said “once you feel satisfied” I realized I was NOT satisfied, paused the video, and did the whole cycle a couple more times. I have struggled for a long time to feel connected with my body, and I’m a little proud of myself for listening to it, even in this one little way.

This is my go-to practice whenever my lower back starts feeling like “crabby crap crap”! Works wonders every time. Thank you, Adrienne! 🧘

It's reassuring to know I'm not the only one who messed up their back during quarantine.

This was uploaded in 2014. it s 2019 and it s still my go-to video whenever I feel lower backpain

I have been watching this video for 7 years. Thank you

9 years on this was the first Yoga video I ever did. I still return to this one regularly. Any time my lower back is twinging I do this one for a few days in a row. It's amazing.

LONG TIME CONSTRUCTION WORKER HERE- Could not get relief for back pain through Physio or Osteopathy, spent lots of $$$. Been in pain for years. This routine helps a lot. Don’t know yet how it will make me feel after a month, a year? So far it’s been a week of doing this every morning and I feel relief for most of the day. Pain flares back up every morning but I think this is the best it’s been in a while. I like that the movements in this routine are gentle and controlled. The way you speak and the words you use definitely help me to relax as well. Thanks very much Adriene and I genuinely hope you never take this video down. I need it! This is my medicine. Thank you!

Did the sequence with my daughter, however she ignored the instructions and just did happy baby most of the time. I guess this is ok as she is just 4 months old :D

Bad posture while taking care of my newborn gave me sciatica, followed this twice a day and healed me completely within 2 weeks. My wife just got it bad and she immediately felt relief after 1 session. This is without a doubt the best therapy for sciatica. Thank you Adriene, you're a godsend! ❤️

My dog waits for me while I do yoga. She knows when you end music starts that I am finished. Because this video is older, it doesn't have the music at the end. She was so confused as to why my yoga session wasn't finished like normal. It was funny!

This routine cured my lower back pain. I couldn't sit, stand, walk, hike, I couldn't even lay down flat without feeling a hot, burning, tight, painful sensation. I've been doing this routine for a month but honestly the pain disappeared after a week.

Dear Adriene- I have just discovered that your basic yoga videos are priceless. Yoga today is being sold as fancy poses but these videos show us how to use it to heal our body and mind and feel comfortable in our skin. Thank you for being a guiding star! Namaste.

Adriene you have been my favorite online yoga workout provider for years because your voice is soothing and non-judgmental and you are gentle and remind people to stop / skip exercises that cause pain and potential harm. This is truly what yoga is about- opening our physical bodies to the spirit of compassion for self and others. Thank you.

I just want to let you know that you have changed my life I started doing your yoga videos for lower back pain! I have stuck with it every night for a month and I can see the difference in my health and in my relationship with my body. Thank you so much for these videos ❤

I have watched the first 2 minutes of this video and I have to stop and comment that you are a really very likeable person. That is so important for someone who doesn't really like people in general. Thank you.

Yo yoga is tight asf man more people should do this lol

Adrienne has a video for every single need that exists. She is my unofficial healer

First off, i never leave comments on RU-vid. But this is absolutely awesome. My back feels so much better and looser. Thank you 🙌🏾

Really helped! Currently in quarantine in Spain and this not being able to go out for a walk was hurting by lower back so badly! Very much appreciated XX

Anybody here during COVID quarantine to get help from Adriene on an ailing lower back?

my cat literally knows your voice. whenever he hears you he walks over to my yoga mat to join/harass me.

I come back to this sequence every few months whenever I aggravate my low back. It feels like coming home. I am so very thankful for you, Adriene, and the practices that you share with us.

It was a bit difficult for me, but I did it. I felt a lot better after. thanks for this. :)

I’m in my 30’s and finally realizing I have to maintain things. What worked for the first few decades doesn’t cut it for me anymore. Your videos have been my intro to Yoga and it’s really turning things around for me. Can’t express my gratitude enough. Thanks for taking the time and effort to make these videos and look forward to more!

Today is day 4 of my back pain. I did Adriene's Yoga For Back Pain video for the past two days then I discovered this one, which is perfect for my needs. I am slowly recovering; the pain isn't as back as the past two day and I have a greater range of motion. Changing positions is still hard, but Adriene takes it slow in this video, which is exactly what I need. I wish everyone who's following this video healing and pain free backs.

After a sleepless night caused by lower back pain, this brought great relief. Thank you Adriene.

Dearest Adriene... I don't know how often you check messages, I just wanted you to your yoga for lower back pain saved my life! I was in excruciating lower back pain...I had 2 options get off the couch and m9ve or the ER...I googled yoga for lower back pain and your RU-vid channel was the first one that popped up.....I immediately pressed play, got on the floor and got started....as I was preparing to get on the floor, the pain had me in tears....by the time I finished the video I could move without excruciating pain.....throughout the day I was anticipating horrible pain....it never arised to that! Though I had pain, it was never where it was prior to the video. The next morning I woke up a bit stiff, but not in excruciating pain.....I did your video again and I feel pretty goid! Thank YOU for posting and allowing me to partake in your skills!

Here after laying on my bed for too long due to quarantine

This is my go-to practice whenever my lower back starts feeling like “crabby crap crap”! Works wonders every time. Thank you, Adrienne!

coming back to this video while dealing with horrendous back pain thanks to my period. it’s so great revisiting Adriene’s older videos. she hasn’t changed ❤️

I used to think that yoga was girly lol but omg the reliefs and better posture,with flexibility I have gotten thank you for your videos. All the way from Guerrero,Mexico

I cant sit indian style because of the lower back pain. But the jeg stretching really helped my sciatica nerve pain go away. This is what I needed. Bless you

Hi, I'm recovering from an acute lower back pain and this 15 mins session is the only thing that keeps me still standing. Since I've discovered this, it became part of my daily routine when I'm on smartworking and it's the only way to avoid pain. Thank you Adriene, this is magic! 😍

I have been coming back to this video for 3 years now and can say that this is the only set of asanas I feel comfortable doing when my lower back hurts...Thank you for creating this, Adriene! :)

Highly recommend this yoga routine for lower back pain! I have been living a sedentary life since March 13th, 2020 and put on 12kg and developed back pain from lack of exercise. Coming from a life that I would complete 30,000 steps per day on my FitBit and visiting the gym 3-5 times a week to zero has deeply effected my health. This workout is my first workout to rehabilitation and it was unbelievable how stiff, compact, tight and piercing my back muscles are from my sacrum to upper shoulders and the transformation and relief I felt after completing this workout. I practiced Iyengar & Hatha yoga for 3 years and Pilates for 2 years, so I adopted a few more asanas inbetween each position and pressed 'pause' on the video to intensify and hold the poses longer. Almost like a Yin Yoga practice. One thing I noticed about this video compared to the ones I've seen with the "Foam Roller for back pain" videos is that Adrienne is very aware of your pain and limitations. She doesn't expect you to do the full pose but gives you a beginner/advanced option which many in the industry forget to implement and newbies become intimidated. A couple of the other videos have you lifting your body straightaway with no warm up or alternative pose for those who are injured. Now, I understand I will have a bit more pain after the workout which is normal considering I am injured and unfit but I already feel remarkably better. A shower, tea and a painkiller is needed and hopefully, I can get off the back pain medication in a week or 2.

Adriene, 3 years later and this is still healing and amazing. Thank you for continuing to put out great work. You are clearly gifted!

The amount of times I revisit this practice for consistent and soothing relief is crazy man Ty Adriene

Dear Adriene, For many years I placed my yoga practice in a closet, where it sat unattended. I had forgotten how much I NEEDED yoga in my life and much I LOVED yoga in my life. Your beginners videos brought me back to a practice that elicits so much joy, serenity and PEACE. Blessings to you Adriene! Thank you and Namaste. xo

NEW EPISODE! Per your request! #yoga #healingyoga #getsome

This is always a go to when my lower back gets tight and it always releases it. Amazing.

Grateful for this video! Just completed walking the Camino Frances, 520 miles in 40 days. I couldn't have completed it pain-free without doing this video every morning. Thank you Adriene!

My lower back has been hurting a bit these past few days, so this practice was simply outstanding for lower back pain ❤️ You're the BEST, Adriene!!

Adriene, thank you so much for these videos. I used to go to yoga practice pretty regularly once a week, but then my favourite instructor left and none of the others are as patient and slow as her (and as I need and prefer). Your videos are exactly what I have been looking for: explanatory, slow enough even for those who do any of the poses for the first time, introducing yoga as a complex practice and offering generosity (as opposed to other videos where if you're not a master of flexibility, you're pretty much done before you started). I do one of your videos every day - short and gentler ones when I am too tired or lacking the time (like today), longer and tougher ones if I do find the time. But I try and stick to at least one video per day to keep me going. Your nice way of speaking and balmy sense of humour are the icing of the cake. THANK YOU for your generosity and sharing those videos with us! ❤

The quarkiness and fun that she has makes it enjoyable to practice with her

i hated yoga but i got covid and did your anxiety video during my recovery since i couldnt do heavy workouts then started doing yoga from your channel and now my day feels so incomplete without your yoga!

I have a 7mm bulging disc. I worked it back in, am standing straight with no pain thanks to this stretching and therapy- relaxing my pent up trauma I'm holding in my body.

lower back pain accompanied me for 10 years. I wake up without pain after doing this set. thank you so much :)

NEW EPISODE! YOGA FOR LOWER BACK PAIN - Per your request! Here is a sequence to tend to the lower back. These are great tools to relieve lower back pain, tend to the spine and awesome if you spend a lot of time slumped at a desk. Commit to spine health and (I think) you will be happy! Warning- this video contains NELLY references, a dog swipe and some pelvic thrusts.

I've been doing yoga with Adriene for about 5 years now. I love how she keeps it real, and the humor. The "Texas T" and the funny accent :). It helps dissipate some of my anger with that state right now!

Thank you!

day 6. Back feels less tight. can do these easier now. less pain . That is good.

MY LIFE!!! My VERY first yoga session were I didn't feel forced or out of place... My lower back is such a problem for me that I dred stretching... Like I will literally rather go through the days of pain that follows a full workout without stretching just to avoid the lower back pains of stretching before a workout. It was 1 a.m and my back was killing me and I was just like I need someone to show me how to get a good full stretch in my lower back. After not being able to go more than 2mins in 10 or more other yoga videos I found yours... I'm completely dedicated to doing this a few times throughout the week in order to reap the full benefits. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I use this video every night to loosen up stiff muscles before bedtime so I can sleep. Love this yoga sequence!!

My lower back was hurting me all day from overdoing it in dance class. This video soothed my back. Thank you Adrienne. I have also used this video for relief after overdoing it on long runs.

my backs been hurting a lot since quarantine, since theres a definite drop in activity level! a few days ago i threw it out and didnt know what to do...thank you adrienne!! after one session it feels so much better. youre a quarantine saviour haha

I don't usually comment. But I had to since this changed my life. Thanks a lot

This just gave me so much relief! I’ve been tight and sore for MONTHS! I’ve only done this once in the last several months. Mind blown! I kinda started to plateau with my chiropractor so this is the perfect replacement! Thank you for these videos forreal!

After having online lessons for months I’ve had such a sore lower back and after doing this once I already feel so much better! I’ll be doing this daily now thank you

Thank you soooooooooo much! I recently started a work from home job and have a toddler who's almost 3-years-old. So, I sit the majority of the day and bending over, picking up things for the rest of it. I also had scoliosis surgery when I was 14 and I'm only 36. I've been having lower back pain for almost a week and a great friend of mine suggested that I try yoga. I found this video on RU-vid immediately, did the stretches and everything. Towards the end of the video, I felt a "pop" and it was one of those good pops. omg I feel sooooo much better, more relaxed and I will definitely use these techniques in the future. Thank you so much, Adriene!

This is a blessing. Scolio sucks but this makes my back super light after doing this.

Every time I have a lower back pain I come back to this video. I feel so much better after this. Amazing!

Find what feels good, is applicable to this session. Mr. Lower Back is not cooperating this morning, so I deviated from the August Schedule. Yes, the session has temporarily eliminated the pain/soreness from the lower back. Now to get out and ride! Thank You for the session.

I am a day early on the calendar for this practice but it appealed to me. I know so many poor souls with lower back pain that I can pass it on ! It really is a super winner leaving me feeling soothed and strengthened and with your kind gentle words Adriene just perfect. See you tomorrow on the mat 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️🙏💞

My backs been really hurting the fast few days and this really helped a lot ❤️❤️ thank you so much...I don’t want to get out of the child’s pose now lol

I deal with lower back pain and sciatica. You have no idea - how much this has helped me relieve some of the pain . Thank you so much ❤

Having some low days , trying to keep showing up on the mat. This practices was exactly what I need. My low back is very thankful.

Wow, this was amazing! I never experienced something like that before! A few days back I wasnt able to walk or sit straight up because my lower back hurt so bad. I was a little embarrased because I am only 19 but was just about to go to the doctor when I thought I'd try yoga. I found this video and 15 minutes later it was about 90% better. I am practicing Yoga daily now and I am loving it! Especially Adrienes' personality..Thank you so much!

Hey Adriene ! For the past 6 weeks i suffer from lower back pain. Had enough of meds so i decided to fix the problem and i gotta say, this is me trying Yoga for the first time and it helped ! Thanks a lot. I will continue to follow up your videos. Take care Bart

I keep coming back to this practice time and time again because sitting at a desk all day is challenging and painful on my body but, this practice really helps keep me feeling well. Thank you, Adriene! Namaste.

Just started a job with amazon..easiest job in the world dealing with small objects weighing no more than 10-20 lbs, but all day I'm on my feet.Found your videos with yoga and goodness I am loving them. Thank you!

I started doing heavier deadlifts over the past few months and was having some lower back tightness/soreness/pain. I discovered this as a great way to stretch before or to relieve in the following days. Thanks!

I love your videos that target specific troublesome areas. I would love a 20-30 minute video that helps the low back, hip, and IT band pain. Thank you for reminding so many to take care of ourselves.

Wow the all fours move literally took my back pain away instantly. Crazy how much better stretching makes you feel

I don't know how many times this practice save me. My lower back is a little bit tricky and some times it give me some troubles, but this practice is always here to save my day. Thank you Adriene

I had a snowboarding accident in January, its now 5th April and back pain hasnt got any better. I've been doing this for about a week now and I'm seeing improvements. Although my back is in agony after a day at Uni, I don't have to grab on to anything when bending down/reaching for things. I'm hoping that yoga will heal me completely, I'm sick of living in pain

I don't usually have back pain but today lifted something the wrong way lol I feel much better now Thank you!!!

Yesterday I suddenly got that sharp pain in my back, couldn't properly walk or get up. I did this practice twice yesterday (carefully and not to the whole extent because of movement limitations and pain). I woke up still very sore, it was difficult to walk. I did the practice again and I got up off the mat, standing tall, back to a vertical position with only the remnants of pain! Thank you so much Adrienne ❤

I've been kicking myself for over a year now that I haven't been doing enough yoga. Then the pandemic happened, and I really didn't feel like doing much yoga. Then last week my back tweaked so bad that sitting in chairs was excruciating, and I had to hop two flights across the country. The next day I was in full self-care mode. I started with this video. Today I finally felt well enough to do your Flow video for Flexible Body & Mind. It was exactly what I needed. I decided to hop back to this one to loosen out my back again, and I was able to roll on my back and even push stretches I couldn't do 5 days ago. Thank you so much for your videos. As I've been lamenting that I don't have a studio near me to help me stick with a weekly practice, I'm so glad to have found your channel. Your videos are warm and welcoming, and your sequences are brilliantly executed. Namaste.

Adriene, thank you so much for the clear and simple instructions. They significantly decreased my lower back pain. Your yoga site is my go to place for relief.

This is the first time i do this video, I've been doing your flow playlist so far but today my lower back pain was too much, after some car accidents and being a DV survivor my body has a lot of pain constantly, I've learned to live with that chronic pain, i JUST finished this video and I can't begin to tell you how much relief i felt! It's been YEARS since I felt absolutely no pain in my lower back area, some days I cannot even stand up or walk but today 😍 i don't feel any pain at all in my lower back! Thank you so so much Adriene for sharing this amazing yoga instructions and the beautiful way we need to connect to our own bodies! Thank you so so so much!

This is my go-to video when my sciatica/lower back pain flares up. Adriene, I can't thank you enough... ♥️

I had a back injury 6 months ago and today was my first day back into my yoga practice. Omg I forgot how much I love your energy! Laughter is the best medicine and this easy flow along with your wonderful-ness was just what I needed

Fell down the stairs on my butt last week. The pain has been migrating through my spine and landed in my hip. Before I called the chiropractor, I thought I'd try a little more time giving my body the chance to heal itself, as it is meant to. Being strong from a regular practice added to a few mornings of this video and I am nearly pain free. Thank you thank you. I'm a lifer. Dealing with pain is just the very smallest of the myriad benefits of yoga.

I tweaked my back recently and was dealing with some crazy pain. Sleeping has been impossible because I’m in so much pain. I’m only 24 so I shouldn’t be having all this pain. But I did this video and almost instantly felt better. I haven’t felt relief in a few day. I’m going to make this a daily routine for me

Thank you sweet Adriene - six and a half years after you posted this video it's still helping people relieve their back pain :)

6 years ago I herniated a disc in my lower back. I couldn't feel my feet, I couldn't walk properly and dealt with pain in my back and left leg. By the time I saw a specialist and was offered surgery (6 months after herniation), my symptoms had started to relieve themselves so I declined surgery. I deal with symptom flare ups a few times a year that last a couple days to a month. For the past few years, this video has been my go to for symptom relief. I just wanted to say thank you. I'm in a flare up this week. This morning, I was in so much pain that I was in tears rolling out my mat and I was worried I wasn't going to be able to get back up off the floor. I managed to go through the sequence and it's helped so much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!!!!!!

I love this set of poses. It's really healing. Thank you!

Life saver for people with lower back pain. Also fun to watch. Thank you, Adriene.

testimonial: Couldn't sit up, couldn't put on my socks this morning. Did the routine. Felt things shifting and stretching as indicated, and now,i'm totally functional - still some discomfort but that's my reminder to do this again and more often. Thanks so much for sharing.

I’ve used this for years. It’s been such a blessing. It’s kept me in the game for my family so many times. Thank you Adriene!!

I am glad you get all these comments so you know how much this heals us. Thank you so much 💜

this is one of my first yoga for the lower back pain I found and I still do, it saved my life. thank you Adriene. I have been doing these and more for over 5 years now, it works.

Adriene has got our backs. I finally had to completely move off the Flow calendar as I had been switching days since the lower back started aching. This was perfect. I came to the mat after the worst day since this started ten or so days ago. Now it feels much better. Thank you Adriene.💜🙏 May 19. 592 days in a row.

I could barely move last night and laying in bed was just as painful. But I did this short session and things were greatly improved. It's my go to to make things manageable and allow me to sleep. Thanks Adriene!

I now have a yoga with Adriene for every problem I ever come across in fitness. This helped me so much today ! :) thank u

Another great one! Since getting covid over a year ago I've spent a lot of time in bed and have done care work and if my lower back feels painful I do this yoga. It's saved my body.

Thanks Adriene! I had to pick up my Mother when she fell the other day + I strained my back! This practice + lower back Love are bringing me back! THANK U!!!!!!!!!!
