I am a certified yoga therapist, and I agree with a lot of comments here regarding some yoga practices on YouTube. Some go way into the "woo woo" stuff that is unnecessary and impractical (i.e., you don't need a cotton yoga mat), and others teach it in ways that actually can exacerbate problems.

I have been seeing private clients for years on chronic pain issues, low back pain, migraines, anxiety/stress. Throughout my years of working with them, I've created short videos and sequences on poses/practices that have helped a lot of my clients again and again.

I try to make these videos practical and bite-sized, instead of 45min or hour long practices. I get that we are all busy, and my motto is always: do a little everyday, and that will take you all the way.

Here is a link to the library of therapeutic yoga practices (including a whole playlist for low back pain). I add new videos weekly: https://www.youtube.com/user/yogawithelaine/
