Yoga for Sciatica

June 27, 2014 by abbie 15 Comments

Sciatica. It hurts, but mostly it’s an inconvenience, right? I need to be doing XYZ, but instead I’m gulping down ibuprofen and trying ice, heat, whatever only to get zero relief. So frustrating!

Ten years ago when I herniated a disc in my lower back, the doc told me that at some point I would probably experience sciatica. I’m so fortunate that it waited a decade to get me to the point of…of…this:

It went on for several days this week without letting up one bit no matter what I did.

Until…..

Yoga! When I used to do 1-2 hours of yoga a day, all of my various back pains vanished. Magic. Why did I not think about this sooner?!

Duh! I’ve done this video a dozen times before!

Within minutes of starting this video, I was getting some relief. By the time I was in savasana, the pain was gone. GONE. No meds, no ice, no heat, no pouting needed. Problem solved!

So if you deal with that miserable, radiating, down-the-whole-freaking-leg pain, do this (as long as you have the go ahead from your doc, of course). You’ll be blown away by the near-instant relief.

Also, if you haven’t heard of DoYogaWithMe, take some time to check out the site. It’s completely free and they have loads of excellent, full-length videos. Their instructors aren’t annoying like so many videos available for purchase. They know their stuff and I find them very soothing and knowledgable.

If you find yourself using their videos regularly, it’s a great idea to donate. Since their videos are free, they depend heavily on a little help from users. Just a small donation helps!

I hope some of you benefit from this video like I did!

    I’ve been browsing online more than 3 hours today, but
    I by no means discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours.

    It is pretty price enough for me. Personally, if
    all web owners and bloggers made just right content as you probably did, the web can be much
    more useful than ever before.

    You actually make it seem really easy along with
    your presentation but I in finding this matter to be really one thing that I believe I’d by no means understand.
    It kind of feels too complex and extremely wide for me.
    I am looking ahead in your next put up, I’ll attempt to get the hold of it!

    First of all I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
    I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing.
    I have had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my thoughts
    out. I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems
    like the first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or
    hints? Appreciate it! adreamoftrains hosting services

    Definitely imagine that that you stated. Your favorite
    justification seemed to be on the internet the simplest thing to take into accout of.
    I say to you, I definitely get irked whilst other people consider
    concerns that they just do not understand about. You controlled to hit the nail
    upon the top as smartly as defined out the whole thing without having side effect ,
    other folks could take a signal. Will probably be again to get more.
    Thanks

    I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your website?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.

    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures.
    Maybe you could space it out better?
