Yoga and back pain?

Linus,

I have been overweight and went to yoga. It really helped my lower back pain, considerably. And my hip pain. I do go to the chiro to keep my knees and hips straight. But yoga has been for my body a wonderful friend and healer. You may have to try several teahers before you find one that works for you. And if you have a level 1 or beginner class, sign up. You really really really, did I say really?? need to learn proper alignment. It is essential to keeping your back safe.

Good luck on your journey.
