The sciatic nerve runs from the lower back through the hips and down each leg, often causing issues only on one side of the body. It is crucial for those experiencing ongoing symptoms to consult a healthcare professional—such as a physiotherapist or osteopath—to determine the underlying causes and appropriate treatments. While medical advice is paramount, incorporating yoga can provide valuable support by improving stability, strengthening the body, and aiding in muscle release.
Preparation for the Practice
Participants are encouraged to have some props on hand, including a strap or scarf to assist with stretches, and cushions or a bolster for relaxation. The session begins with a focused meditation and breath awareness in a child's pose to help individuals connect with their bodies.
