yoga program for stressed back???

[bosco]

Hey all of you,
I want to know why you people started Yoga? I started few months back just as a way to chill out, I didn't keep it up but intend on going back now. But doing stretches now, my back feels tense. Are there good programs specifically for back pain/relief? Would like some recommendations.
Regards,

Yoga postures involving balance on one leg, and deep standing postures may stress the back joint but if done lightly it may be beneficial. If a posture feels like it is causing greater pain patterns it should be avoided.

Cobra is a healing posture for the low back but this posture may have a negative effect if done incorrectly or too deep.
