Frοm thеrе slowly push yourself οn аll fours (hands аnd knees) аnd slowly flex back up аnd down whеn push tailbone down look down аnd whеn flex up look up.
Thеn whеn done doing thаt lower уουr body tο thе ground аll thе way аnd relax fοr a minute. thеn bring уουr hands up bу уουr chest аnd slowly push уουr chest up frοm thе floor leaving уουr hips down.
Don’t twist οr bend аnу way thаt іѕ uncomfortable аnd gο ѕlοw аnd simple. Don’t jerk οr try аnd rυѕh thru, take уουr time аnd concentrate οn breathing. Whеn уου master thеѕе another ехсеllеnt one tο try іѕ Down dog.

You may want to try some simple yoga poses, like cat, cobra, and child’s pose to start with..
They are really simple to do, would recommend starting with childs pose – which is simply sitting on your feet and then relaxing your upper body over your knees with your arms stretched out over head and your fore head as close to the floor as comfortable.
From there slowly push yourself on all fours (hands and knees) and slowly flex back up and down when push tailbone down look down and when flex up look up.
Then when done doing that lower your body to the ground all the way and relax for a minute. then bring your hands up by your chest and slowly push your chest up from the floor leaving your hips down.
Don’t twist or bend any way that is uncomfortable and go slow and simple. Don’t jerk or try and rush thru, take your time and concentrate on breathing. When you master these another excellent one to try is Down dog.

at 1st you must be seen by your doctor to rule out any organic cause, then if nothing, swimming is the best exercise

Lie on your back, knees bent, and tighten your tush and tummy and crunch the small of your back down to the ground. I have back problems and my rehab doc gave that one.

Forget yoga –
Lower back:
1. Squats
2. Excellent Mornings (see link2 below)
3. Dumbbell Mornings (same motion as Excellent Mornings, but holding a dumbbell in front of you)
Abs:
1. Sit-ups
2. Lying kickups – Lie down on decline or flat bench, legs straight in front and together, raise them at the hip to 90 degrees and then raise feet to ceiling
3. Lateral crunches – Hold 40 lb dumbbell in hand at side, lean to side, return, repeat.
If you want to do something less weight-room oriented, you can do some yoga stuff the additional answer noted, such as lying on your side and doing a leg raise.
NOTE: This can all be done with or without the weights, and is a generalized answer to be heeded by those beyond your personal issues.
