Welcome to this 20 min yoga routine for sciatica. This practice includes a gentle sequence of stretches for the hamstrings, hip flexors, glutes and piriformis muscle, all of which can relieve sciatica pain. I recommend having a yoga strap (or a belt) and a pillow to assist you throughout this practice.
About Sciatica:
Sciatica is a tenderness or pain running along the sciatic nerve, typically showing up on one side of the body. Burning and tingling in the back of the thigh are signs of sciatica.
There are two sciatic nerves – one for each leg.
The sciatic nerve originates from nerve roots that exit from the spinal cord, thread over the sacrum, pass between deep layers of the gluteus muscles, through the muscles in the back of the thighs, down the outside of the leg to the foot.
Ask a medical professional to help you find the cause of your sciatica. Depending on the cause, this practice may or may not be appropriate for you.
I hope this practice helps to relieve you from sciatica pain.

Hello. Thank you for your help and for giving this important instruction to the community at large. It hurts too much for me to get into the starting position – seated with knees bent. Is there anything you can recommend for someone in sciatica pain, too much pain to be seated?
This practise was just what I needed today. I was have a lot of discomfort with my sciatica on both sides of my legs. Feel a lot relieved.. Thank you Charlie. I love your sessions.

I really enjoy this practice, but usually when I put one ankle onto knee and try to pull it close to my chest my knees feel really sore afterwards. Is there anything I can do?
