Yoga for sciatica – part 1

Hi everyone,

I can’t believe I never did something about sciatica before!!! But here it is than..

Some advice and the first pose you can do to help you cope with sciatica. A very painful condition where the longest nerve of the body is somewhat inflamed. A very common condition that you can really do a lot for! Yoga will help it, but you need to know certain pre cautions and I will give different poses that will be very helpful to bring the body back to balance! If you know someone who suffers from it, send them the link, you can always help yourself with exercises..

The pose I show is a variation to locust pose to help strengthen the muscles in the lower back , while increasing the circulation in the hip area.

Enjoy the road to feeling better…

xxx Esther

  • The three beginner videos and the sciatica part 1 helped me a lot. However, I can not bring up the next two sciatica videos. Can you help me? Also could you please do a beginners video part 4?
    Thank you this has enormously helped my sciatic and Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy pain.

  • Hi Esther, this is great as always, thank you!

    I have been having pain in this area on one side since my daughter was born (started while I was pregnant). I suspect it might be sacro-iliac pain as it doesn’t radiate down the back of my leg like sciatica is supposed to. Are the sequences you’ll be recommending for sciatica suitable for sacro-iliac problems too?

  • Esther, I just left you an email on your DVD@yogatic.com about sciatic and IBS help and then tadaaa here is the sciatic….
    My eyes started to well up. I am so grateful. I see now that I will have to put on my computer everymorning and do yoga with you in my kitchen is all.

    You are THE BEST. Thank you. My sister is now in Ireland, Dublin, and then Donnegal. I wish she could find you and give you a big kiss and hug from me.

    Anyway thank you. Love Margaret

  • Hi Esther,

    Thank you so much for your videos, again!
    They’re really helping me a lot :)

    I can’t really bend forward with a straight lower back, so I have being following your advices. But do you have any other tips on how to work on this area, so that eventually I can keep a straight back and don’t need the block anymore? Thanks!!
