Yoga for Back Pain - Flat Low Back Posture and the Hamstring Muscles

The hamstring muscles are those large muscles on the back of the leg. When they get tight, they can affect the entire low back, making a flat low back posture. This month's yoga for back pain pose addresses this postural problem with a gentle, enjoyable (remember to breathe!) stretch called Reclined Big Toe Pose. As usual Ann Pizer, About's Yoga guide has instructions for the pose. To compliment her instructions, I have written about the flat low back posture.
