Which one of the following kinds of yoga (in details) would be best for my lower!


Question: Which one of the following kinds of yoga (in details) would be best for my lower back pain!?
I have a herniated disc and it's been suggested to me by many doctors that because I am only 27 years old, I should not have surgery (which costs about $50K anyway)!. I have had a lot of luck with my chiropractor and actually haven't seen him since April of 2007, because I have been virtually free of pain!.

Unfortunately, lately, my lower back pain has been getting worse!. I always heard that sleeping on the floor was good for your back, so I've been sleeping on a thin layer of foam!. I think that is the problem since I am not currently doing any back exercises!. I know I need a stronger core too!.

Here is the list of different kinds of yoga I found:
Ananda
Anusara
Ashtanga
Bikram
Integral
Iyengar
Kali Ray TriYoga
Kripalu
Kundalini
Sivananda
Svaroopa Yoga
Viniyoga

So which one would be the best for strengthening my back without hurting it more!. Also, I'd like to do a kind of yoga that incorporates a lot of meditation into it!. I've always wanted to learn how to meditate !.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Ravi Singh and Ana Brett's Kundalini yoga for Beginners focuses on the back and spinal cord!. I find that after I do it, I can more easily sit up straight and my back feels good!. It also incorporates a lot of meditation, which I know you're also looking for!. I don't know too many different types of yoga, but I've been practicing for a couple years!.

Basically all yoga will work your back and as long as you do the poses correctly, you shouldn't experience any additional pain!.

If you're looking to practice at home, check out Amazon!.com for yoga DVDs!. You might find ones that focus on your back, I think there's one called Yoga for a Better Back!.

Good luck on your search!. I hope this is helpful!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
