This month in our yoga for back pain feature Ann and I take on Downward Facing Dog, a basic yet challenging yoga pose that provides benefits for back pain sufferers. It is a pose that beginners and veterans alike are constantly working on improving, so don't give up too easily on this one. Remember if you need, you can always modify the pose to fit it to your level. Ann's down dog instructions include modifications for beginners, so be sure to scroll down to read those before you begin.
