Yoga for back pain is a bit tricky. Yes, yoga is good for back pain. But. You have to know exactly how to support your back during many poses and how to modify other poses that may not be suitable for you right now.

Walking into a generic yoga class with back pain can easily lead to reinjuring your back. Does your teacher know you have back pain? Does she modify poses for you? If the answer is no to either, that is not good. Talk to your teacher and get feedback from her on what to do with your back. If she doesn't have the knowledge or experience to give you advice, seek a different teacher.

You may need to do a few private sessions with an experienced teacher to really get on top of your issues. A private teacher can help you with modifications, with designing a good home practice for you that will help you strengthen and loosen up you back and help you be prepared to get the most out of a 'generic' class.

no, I do yoga and after every class you are supposed to feel light like very relaxed. You should talk to your doctor and tell him/her about your tender pain.

once u start yoga it can be a little painful but after a while it should dull down
be sure that you are using a yoga matt to help
and if the pain persists you probably want to go see your doctor

You shouldn't be feeling pain. You need to tell your yoga instructor and they will be able to tell you which asanas to avoid.

you hsould be ok and have no pain
