Hi, I would like to ask for your advice! I've been trying lately to sit in Siddhasana or Sukhasana, but I get intolerable back pain afterwards. Looks like as I'm getting old my back can't cope with the stretching and straining. Have you experienced similar problems? Do you know what kind of Yoga exercises may help sit in Asana without back pain later? For example Yoga-for-the-back, Yoga-for-mobility, etc... Thank You in advance!

Other teachers have also recommended the use of such tools as well. Insights on Iyengar Yoga With Quotes by B.K.S. Plus a Yogini
