What yoga asanas would be good for my mom [Pls read description]?
She suffers from herpes and she has a very severe pain in her lower back and pelvic area when she gets up from lying down. She also has high blood pressure. What asanas should she do?
If she is looking to strengthen her back then I suggest that she try imprint breathing. This will allow her to focus on shifting weight that she carries in the back and moving it to the center.
The Stoop Position or Yogamudrasana- this will help strengthen her back
Half Spinal Twist Position or Ardh Matsyendrasana- this will help strengthen and stretch
Camel Position or Ushtrasana- help stetch and strengthen.
All three of these positions are health oriented poses and should over time help reduce back pain.
