Yoga and back pain?

I've had back issues since I was a teen and the best thing I've done is pilates. Since yoga is similiar I would think you could have good results. One thing to check into is what your insurance covers. I was able to go to a clinic that took insurance and my pilates was covered under my therapy.

Seconding Pilates!

It is *all about* strengthening your core, it is gentle and every exercise can be modified to accommodate your particular injuries/hot spots.
