Release Lower Back Pain with Yoga Poses
Just keep practicing.
Sometimes even simple motions can release the muscle tension in the back. Try lying on your stomach with your arms to your side, then bend both legs and gently and sway them back and forth as if they were windshield wiper blades. Or you can lie on your back and curl into a ball.
More challenging yoga poses include the Bridge Pose and Sage Twist.
Yoga Tips
When trying out these poses, it's beneficial if you remember to breath regularly so you increase your circulation and feel the full tension and release of the muscles. Also, be aware of your body and accept your current level of comfort with every pose. Yoga DVDs can be helpful if you're looking for beginner variations of challenging poses.
Dealing with continuous back pain can be frustrating, but implementing these yoga exercises for lower back pain into your daily routine may relax that tension and ease your mind too.

Thank you for the links to the yoga instructions. I'm a bit timid about going to a public yoga session but I'd like to try out some of the poses. I wonder if anyone's posted the following poses I'm well practised at:
a- SlouchingInChair pose,
b- StoopedWalking pose,
c- PartialReclineOnTheCouch pose. ;-)
