As a yoga instructor, I encourage you to listen to your body and pay attention to the signals it is sending you. If your back pain is persistent, severe, or affecting your daily activities, it may be a sign of a more serious issue that requires medical attention. Look out for any accompanying symptoms such as numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain that radiates down your legs. It's always best to consult with a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying conditions and to create a safe and effective plan to address your back pain. In the meantime, practicing gentle yoga poses that focus on improving back strength and flexibility can often provide relief and support overall back health.
