Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain is extremely common, especially for those that spend many hours of the day sitting. Many times all you need to relieve back pain is simple stretches because your muscles are very tight. Downward facing dog targets back extensors, which are the large muscles located in your lower back.
Liver and Indigestion Problems
Many people suffer from gastritis, indigestion, and even a fatty liver, which can be alleviated by doing poses that require twisting your abdomen. Twists squeeze your liver, which is responsible for detoxing your body.
Yoga can be a great addition to your workouts but always talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise routine. Also, make sure you continue to take your medication and follow your doctor’s recommendations because yoga does not cure diseases, it only helps prevent and improve symptoms.
