Discogenic pain closely resembles lumbosacral radicular pain, often presenting with radiating pain in lumbar or sacral dermatomes, with or without neurological deficits. Yoga, a mind-body practice, is increasingly explored as a therapeutic approach for non-specific low back pain.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A prospective study included 35 patients meeting the inclusion criteria, who underwent yoga therapy between August 2022 and July 2024.
