Hi,

I have gone though your query.

Do not start yoga at once have yoga teacher and then start it other wise pain will increase.

Do quadriceps and back muscle strengthening exercise as uploaded on you tube then after 7 days think of yoga if pain still persists.

Apply hot packs for 30 min in morning and evening .

I hope it helps.
