I have lumbar canal stenosis. my left leg becomes weak. I had to limp while walking. Which yoga asanas will be helpful
Ans: Lumbar canal stenosis can cause pressure on the nerves, leading to weakness in the legs and difficulty while walking. Yoga can help, but it must be done very gently and carefully to avoid any strain on your spine.
Helpful Yoga Asanas for Lumbar Canal Stenosis
?? Tadasana (Mountain Pose) – Improves posture and strengthens the spine.
?? Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose) – Strengthens the lower back with support.
?? Supta Padangusthasana (Reclining Hand to Big Toe Pose) – Stretches the legs without putting pressure on the spine.
?? Makarasana (Crocodile Pose) – Relaxes the lower back and reduces tension.
?? Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose, very gentle) – Helps open up the spine if done lightly.
Important Points
Always keep movements slow and controlled.
Avoid deep forward bends and sudden twists.
Support your lower back with cushions if needed.
Focus on breathing deeply during every pose.
Learn Under a Yoga Coach
Since your condition is delicate, it is very important to practice under a trained yoga coach. A coach will help you modify the asanas safely and gradually build strength and mobility.
Take care of your spine with patience and care.
