Nice video!! Yoga did helped me a lot with back pains (Lumbar) too. There is no pain anymore, but I´m still doing the Surya Namaskara everyday before meditating. But apart from Aikido. At the dojo where I´m training we just do the classical Aikido warm-ups.

Thanks for the video, it really helped me to remind others yoga positions.
