Press pause on that power yoga for just one second: the answer to easing your chronic lower back pain might just be found in a Kundalini yoga studio.
At least that's what Dr. Sheri Dewan, MD, a board-certified neurosurgeon at Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital, believes — she specifically recommends this type of yoga practice for a healthier spine and for certain patients dealing with back pain.
While Kundalini yoga might be less discussed than, say, Vinyasa yoga, it's been in practice for thousands of years. It's defined as a practice that activates energy stored at the base of the spinethrough breathing exercises, poses, chanting, as well as meditation.
