The aim of this study was to find out the effect of yoga practice on flexibility among lower back pain women. For the propose of the study 20 lumbago (low back pain) women’s from Vivekananda College, Sirkali, Nagpattinam District, Tamilnadu, were selected as subjects and their age ranged between 30 to 45 years. The selected subjects were divided into two groups namely Group – I underwent yoga (n= 10) and Group – II acted as control (n= 10). The flexibility was selected as dependent variable and tested by using sit and reach test. The yoga group underwent parivarthatrikonasana, vakrasana, ustrasana, ardhachakrasana, komugasana, patchimothaasana, veerasana, yogamudra, yoganidhra, nadisuthi pranayama and silent meditation. The yoga practice was extended for eight weeks, three days per week, sixty minutes per day including warming up and relaxation. The control group did not do any special training program apart from their regular activities. The data were collected before and immediately after the yogic practice. The collected data on flexibility was analyzed by using analysis of variance (ANOVA) to find the significance between groups. The level of confidence was fixed at 0.05. The result of the study shows that, Astanga yoga practice improves flexibility when compared to control. The result shows that there was a significant improvement on flexibility due to yogic practice on low back pain women’s.
