Tips for a complete beginner with back pain

After 2 years of absolutely no workout my back pain has become so severe that I decided to start doing yoga. I have previously worked out a lot, both cardio and at the gym. After I hurt my knee I haven't worked out at all. Tried yoga a couple of times and liked it, just never been able to continously stick to it. So yesterday I decided to try out yoga again. I put on yoga with Adriene and did her "Yoga for absolute beginners". Doing this I realized that I can barely sit cross legged without tipping backwards and today my body is so unbelievably sore from that **basic** yoga that I'll honestly need several days to rest before trying again. So that's why I'm here. I really want to try yoga, but I don't know where to start since even the most basic lessons seem to be too difficult. So what's your tips for a complete newbie with zero base strength and severe back pain?

What's the best affordable yoga certification online?

I want to get certified as a yoga instructor but also don't want to spend a lot of money on it since I'm not planning to be a full time instructor. I just really want to know more about yoga with its fundamentals and able to teach with friends and family as a hobby. Thanks in advance!

[https://www.paypro.nl/producten/Yoga\_Nidra\_-\_Happy\_with\_Yoga/39703/133783](https://www.paypro.nl/producten/Yoga_Nidra_-_Happy_with_Yoga/39703/133783) Yoga Nidra is een systematische methode waarbij naar complete fysieke, mentale en emotionele ontspanning wordt toegewerkt. Yoga Nidra bestaat uit twee woorden uit het Sanskriet. Yoga betekent 'samenbrengen' of 'verbinden'. En Nidra betekent 'slaap'. Tijdens Yoga Nidra lijkt het alsof je slaapt, maar je bewustzijn is nog aan het werk op een dieper niveau. Bij Yoga Nidra balanceer je dus als het ware op het lijntje tussen wakker zijn en slapen. Je werkt naar deze staat toe door middel van een aantal systematische oefeningen en visualisaties. Je komt fysiek, mentaal en emotioneel compleet tot ontspanning.
