Yoga Poses and Stretches to Relieve Back Pain

9. Child's Pose

Child's pose is a good option for relieving pain in the lowest part of the back. This pose reduces pressure on the hips and sacrum, a bone that sits between the hip bones, and the associated sacral area. To get into this pose, kneel on the floor. Walk your hands out until your arms are all the way out in front of you, and your face is near the floor. Press your hips toward your feet. If having the arms out is hard on the shoulders, the arms can also lie alongside the shins.
