Part 4/7:
Participants are led through a series of gentle movements washing the knees side to side, a technique that helps release tension in the low back and hips. Following this, the class transitions into various stretches targeting both sides of the body. Key poses like reclining gomukhasana (cow face pose) deepen stretches in the hips and back, promoting a release in the external rotator muscles and alleviating sciatic discomfort.
Strengthening Exercises to Prevent Flare-Ups
After several restorative stretches, David introduces glute bridges, a strengthening exercise crucial for preventing future sciatic flare-ups. The glute bridges focus on engaging the glutes, hips, core, and lower back.
