Practice Point #33 - Sciatica

I received a question from Shiva in Australia. Their question is...

What would be a good asana/s for sciatica?

This is a common problem and while what has caused the pain is different for all, generally speaking, sciatic pain is caused when the sciatic nerve is being impinged.

The approach is to find positions that can create space so the nerve is not being impinged.

Without seeing the body and it's ability I would be reluctant to suggest specific asana.

However, there is one exercise that I think is helpful to all. I've made a video on it for you to see.

I hope this helps.

I have hundreds of videos like this, which are answers to common problems from the community. They are all available as part of the Yogabranches membership. JOIN HERE to access them all.
