Hey dear Roland,
Is it okay if I ask you a few questions so I can guide you safely?
• How long have you been experiencing sciatica?
• Was it triggered by any injury or sudden movement?
• May I know your age?
• Have you had any reports, X-ray, or MRI done?
For sciatica, it’s always best to understand the root cause first.
To support you properly, we may need a short one-on-one session so I can assess what movements will help and what to avoid.
And yes — yoga can be very effective for sciatica, but it has to be a gentle, simple, and mindful practice tailored to your condition.
I’m here to help you relieve the pain safely.
Avoid these until pain improves
Deep forward bends
Touching toes
Full Pigeon Pose (too aggressive)
Strong twists
High-impact workouts
Long sitting without breaks
My recommendation for you personally
Since your pain increases with certain movements and you’re unsure what’s safe:
See a physical therapist first for a proper assessment.
One or two sessions are enough to understand the cause and safe movement patterns.
Then use yoga as a complementary therapy — gentle, therapeutic yoga is excellent for long-term healing, flexibility, and strengthening.
