I don’t know if you’ll see this comment but I literally could not lay, sit, stand, or sit. There was nothing I could do without pain. I’ve only done a couple of your sessions and I feel so great. Thank you for making this so easy to understand and follow and for saving my from so much pain!!
Same. It’s really wild.
I can’t even skip a day at this point or I’ll start to feel it come back.
@@Bconsuegra255 also try Bob and brad videos! Their exercises truly helped my pain go away.
Same same. Have to keep up, show up on the mat! Don’t feel quite right anymore when I don’t. I mix it up but so much better now. I’ll be doing this the rest of my life. Not mad😂
Bob and brad are def the best for sciatica/ buldged disks
I’m so excited to try this now- I was down and out for 2 1/2 weeks from sciatica pain. 8 chiropractor appointments later I’m getting better, but still not 100%.. I’m looking forward to having something I can do at home in between visits
This aged well. I had unbearable debilitating sciatica pain out of nowhere - this has pretty much solved the issue. I can’t express my gratitude ♥️
thank you
That sounds good to me. That's how I would have described my pain too.
Tonite my sciatica was so painful, I couldn't even walk or sit or lie down. I actually started to have a panic attack because I couldn't think of what to do. And then I remembered YWA and how Adriene has helped me when I was suffering from so many other ailments. I was sobbing when I put this video on...thankfully, the deep yoga breathing worked to soothe the sobs, as well. I was in so much pain, at first, it was difficult to even lie on the mat. But, I did the poses as best I could. And kept breathing...listening to Adriene's calming voice. By the end, my pain had subsided. I am truly so so grateful for this practice and for Adriene. 🙏🏻
beautiful Girl
I feel your pain. I think I have powered thru sciatica for a long time, like decades, and never really dealt with it till this flair up. Never had kids but this must be close.
Did a bunch of youtube 'strength and stretches, oh my God, put me back to square one.
Thought of yoga today as I was told to lay of the strengthening. I trust Adrienne not to make this worse.
Will be trying this today.
It does make you panicky because it is like surviving a bad car crash. Have to mourn who I was before this because even tho everyone says it will go away, it has changed me, profoundly, being in this much pain.
I’m so sorry to hear how radically this pain has impacted you. I’m about to begin yoga therapy sessions for a woman who has been living with sciatica pain for many years and I’m hopeful that I can help her make a difference. Currently she maintains a life with frequent chiropractor visits and remedial massage but she wants to take more control in her life. I will be working with her to see whether movements like these help her and finding out what else is going on in her life that she might be able to change to make a difference.
I came on here to suggest that you might seek out a yoga therapist near you to work with? It’s a bit different from working with other health practitioners because you are more involved in the program and it’s really customised to suit your circumstances. Just a suggestion. There’s more and more of us yoga teachers training in this to deepen the support we can provide to people in pain. All the best.
@@katrinahinton7811 thank you.
Are suffering with sciatica righ now can I help u ?
It's been a while since there have been any posts on this one, but my friend recommended Adriene. Partly for her quirky random little comments and positive vibe, but also for her damn good sessions.
I've been suffering with sciatica for 6 months, sometimes it's been crippling and my unusually upbeat style has been getting a battering. At one point I couldn't even sit on a bar stool!!!
But this workout (and some over the counter painkillers, not gonna lie) have actually started to make a difference. I can get through the day without the painkillers now and my upbeatness is coming back, being able to move about better and walk without pain.
I'm a 45 year old bloke, I cannot bend anything like Adriene and I have "bits" that make some of these exercises a little more restrictive shall we say, Lol. But the spirit and knowledge she brings will get you through no problems.
I recommend this guys, and thank you Adriene.
Have a great day everyone.
Nathan 🙏
I know this video is old, and you probably have a lot of comments like this, but this has helped me so much. I have spent the last 3 1/2 years in so much pain, and the only solution I was given was pain medication. It turns out that i have a lot of hyper mobility in my joints, which has caused chronic sciatic pain. I'm only 25, but pain has defined the last few years of my life.
I finally got help after fighting for too long to be taken seriously. No one believed I was in this much pain. I started refusing their pain meds and demanding help. I recently had an MRI confirming what I have been feeling, and I started physical therapy as well as being a candidate for SI injections.
My first therapist did not empathize or realize that I was always in pain, and would not recommend anything other than medication to manage my pain. So, I decided enough was enough, and I found this video. Your video has literally changed my life. I can now manage my pain and have made a 25% improvement with muscle mobility and strength in just 3 months. I am doing great with my new pt and I went for my first run this morning in 3 1/2 years. A few months ago, I had days where I could barely walk. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Morganrae I’m 16 and I feel plagued by this everyday. The pain is excruciating and I was wondering if u have any tips. I stretch every night and I’m super flexible but I’ve seen no improvement in my hips
Hey although you posted this comment a year ago I can't help but say I'm in the exact same situation! I'm 25 and for roughly 5 years i've suffered sciatica after a fall but only recently have I been taken seriously and had an X-Ray and MRI following failed physio etc. I've been through ALL the medications and remain in extreme pain doing daily tasks but yoga does help flex me out and allow me to move more freely for a while without quite so much pain! Finally, I'm awaiting surgery at the end of October after a long road of being fobbed off only to finding out (after 3 years of "treatment") it's two slipped discs trapping my left sciatic nerve. I hope things have picked up for you and all the best of luck with managing your pain!
Great i.m just 28 i.m suffering from sciatica from past 3 years very difficult to walk. I am trying this today. Namaste
Making use of it finally takes away the nasty feeling of sciatica pain and the pressure it gives on my back. Browsing the net is an excellent approach to know more about the 4SciaticaPainCure.blogspot.com back pain guideline. With this, you can sleep in different positions. Helps my hip pain and it`s comfy.
I’m in the same position. Unbearable pain. I hope this works for me too!!
28 year old male here. I always thought yoga was a bit of a joke but after suffering a si joint injury 2 years ago i have tried basically everything to help the daily pain including over 12 sessions with a chiropractor. I recently 3 weeks ago took a chance with yoga doing 30min-1hour a day and i must say it is has had the largest effect so far on my body i can only imagine what a year of this will do for me. Thanks Adriene for access to this new world i have discovered. PS yoga is not a joke :) lol
62 y/o male here. After a motorcycle accident and now heart surgery, I once again am finding yoga to be as good or better than any pill or chiropractor. My sciatics are going crazy right now, acupuncture and message therapy is not available due to Corona. Back to yoga, finding relief once again. They feel better already and more work will make them feel better yet. Time well spent. Thank you Adriene.
@@jonmulack4226 yeah dawg.
Same, three years now. You do need to keep it up to maintain though.
@@michellem.5799 Yup i keep it simple 15-20 minutes before bed and 10 minutes before my day starts seems to be enough to maintain so far.
@@youratowel14I do that exact same thing!
How many times have you heard "What's wrong with your leg? I thought it was your back." This routine helped me physically and these comments helped me emotionally. I want to thank Adriene and all of the people here who understand.
If I had a pound for everytime I heard that I'd be rich!!
I am a 72 yr old Parkinson patient. Been doing for three years and this is the best. I have sciatica pain for over a yr., and drs just keep on giving injections and pain pills. Your teaching is very professional and helpful. Thank you, so much!!!
Way to go lady!
I'm a marathon runner who suffers from sciatica and L5-S1 issues. My go to is always acupuncture but with being in Covid quarantine, the offices are closed. I do yoga but found my pain was getting worse with it. I googled 'Yoga for back pain" and your videos came up. I am soooo glad. After just 2 days - I went from barely moving to now finding some relief. Thank you. I am going to keep doing your routines!
Samee!!!!
I'm also a marathon runner suffering from sciatica
Interesting. I am also a marathon runner and have been trying to find other marathon runners with this issue as I have chronic glute/leg pain for years and just recently realized it to be Piriformis Syndrome. (This is when the piriformis muscle in the glute is putting pressure on the sciatic nerve.) Apparently it is due to a weak piriformis muscle, so I have been doing PT exercises to strengthen it, but what I don't understand is how a stronger piriformis will lessen it's pressure on the static nerve (?). I have never tried acupuncture but I tried dry needling once before the shutdown and I'm not sure it helped at all. It was actually a blessing for me that the Boston Marathon has been moved to Sept. bc I finally qualified but then my symptoms had gotten worse and I couldn't train properly. I'm curious what else runners like you do to help it, and if you run through it or rest? I haven't run for a month now but I think it's probably the best bet.
I'm not a marathon runner but would love to go for a run every day and had to stop because of my sciatica and L5-S1 issues!! How do you do it ? do you have any recommendations ? Because of it, every time I try to go for a run the pain goes through my knees!
For anyone reading the comments - I have been through the yoga gambit videos online, beginner classes, I've even tried senior classes (I'm only 39) and everything has been way to intense. I've had really tight hamstrings and low flexibility since I was a kid. This video was still challenging but I still made it through (shaking legs and all). The biggest thing is I didn't feel defeated, embarrassed, or like giving up at any point. This is going to be my morning video for the next 12 month as I work on regaining my body after 4 terrible years of injuries. Thank you Adriene for making this video and bringing your humor into it.
Adriene: Thank you. I've been dealing with a herniated disc for almost two months. It's been severe enough so that I am (still) unable to drive, walk, sit, stand; do much of anything without assistance or constant "speaking" pain. Yesterday afternoon I received epidural steroids and this morning I felt slight improvement. The physical pain hasn't been the worst of it; it's the emotional struggle exhaustion that accompany constant pain and limited activity that have really been getting to me.
The inside of my head and heart have been telling me to return to yoga. I was an avid practitioner for years and had stopped about two years ago for many reasons.
This morning something told me "Google yoga for sciatica" and up popped this video.
I cried half the time from relief, and laughed because you're super funny, which I so appreciate. I had to modify my practice because I'm still deep in recovery, but your encouragement and modifications throughout made it doable. I actually surprised myself. Your flow allowed me to stretch in ways I have not been able to since the onset. This practice was exactly what I was looking for today (and then some) and it marks my first attempt to really put the self back in self care. Thank you for being lovely and for providing this wonderful video. Namaste.
I could have written that myself. Exactly the same ❤
Adrienne gave me the moves I needed to get rid of lower back and buttock pain with no drugs or doctors. Yoga rules!
Today sciatic pain hit me at work and I spent most of the day almost in tears because of how frustrated and angry I was at my body. This sequence has immediately made me feel so much better physicially, but also more loving and graceful towards my broken body that's trying its best. Thank-you Adriene, this work that you do makes the lives of so many people so much better.
I feel your pain. I've had a horrible muscle spasm in my hip for almost 2 weeks now. It has been a practice to accept this and take care of myself.
I’ve been doing your video for sciatica for about two weeks. My pain has gone from me “walking like a duck” to almost no pain, tingling or numbness in the legs. I should be paying you instead of my chiropractor!! Thank you so much!! PS, I love your sense of humor, too🙃
Thanks will also do this.
My hip is painful on a certain point and feeling unbalanced in my hip.
Hope it helps
Going through release and grief
I was introduced to Adriene's videos and did the neck and back series for several months. Once I was "diagnosed" with sciatica I found this video. All three are fantastic and Adriene is a "gift" to me. What I am most impressed with is her sensitivity to all levels of pain. She gives options without making you feel as if you are a failure. Thank you so much Adriene.
This actually works. I have been in a car accident and had chronic pain for years. Every time I tried this yoga routine I would get instant relief but the pain would come back immediately. But I decided to try it again after like a year long hiatus and it got easier, and then I tried it some more, and that got easier. This is the best I have felt in 4 years and I have been running everywhere for weeks with minimal pain.
I seriously don't know what I would do without your video. I've been using it for 6 years to manage chronic sciatica from hyper mobility. I'm not pain free, but it's manageable and I can keep up with my kids. You truly made a huge difference in my life. Thank you ❤️
I think Adrienne is fantastic. Sciatic pain exercises so good and the video for panic attacks. She also has a very calming/soothing voice which helps immensly
Thank you Thank you Thank You!
You and this practice have helped to relieve my sciatic/piriforis pain so extreme that I was stooped over and in constamt pain walking sitting and laying down. I could not roll over in bed without SHARP stabbing pain. This has really helped and i know from past experience that the regular practice improves mind and body.
Thank you for reminding and helping a 65 y.o retired ICU RN who was ready to give up. God sends us gifts our responsibility is to be greatful and accept.
Omgoodness, I just wanted you to know that this 5 yr old video is still helping people. What a difference it has made in my life. Very new to yoga, after 2 cervical and 3 lumbar (failed) surgeries I have lived every single day for 10 years in pain and on morphine. (Work accident Jan 2011) I used to run but can no longer do that.....back pain led to me walking funny which finally led to 5th metatarsal fracture and Achilles rupture so 2 more surgeries later~ ugh I have gotten so out of shape and stiff. This was wonderful. Thank you so much....I love your videos! Thank you for doing things slowly for beginners. You ROCK!
I have done this 2 times now. The pain relief and release I get is almost unbelieveable. Thank you so much Adriene.
I just cried whilst doing that last pose. A month ago, I couldn’t sleep due to the sciatic pain. And that last move with the twist was unthinkable. But today, I just did it. Without any pain at all! I’m so in awe of this, Adriene. Thank you so much for helping me and so many others to heal. 🙌✨❤️
Get yourself some massage therapy too to help further release and heal those pesky tight muscles.
I currently cannot sleep or sit or walk or anything. My sciatica is EXCRUCIATING. I'm in too much pain to do this, but as soon as I can, I will.
@@v-r-o-n4978 I hope you can find some much needed relief down the road, my friend. I have had 2 surgeries now and I feel your pain, mate. All the peace, all the love ✨♥️
@@v-r-o-n4978 I feel you! I'm currently bed ridden with the worst sciatica pain I've ever had, Sunday night I got stuck on a train and an ambulance had to get called as I had literally frozen and couldn't move off my seat. Currently on diazapam, codeine and naproxen for the pain. As soon as I'm able to, I'll be doing this video every day. Really hope you're on the mend :)
@@kelseyangieI'm improving 👌 use ice gel packs on your lower back and a compression belt above your hips! Also doing lots of stretches for sciatica...it's such a relief. Hang in there. Use ice not heat on your back until inflammation goes down. I've been doing ice pack for 20 mins every two hours for several days. Then slowly introduce heat (but not until inflammation goes, as it makes it worse) and do gentle stretches for sciatica. There are some amazing physios on TH-cam. Hang in there. For most people this gets better with the right self care at home.
That's a powerful mantra, I added to it. I am supported, my body supports me, I support myself.
I did a lot of work around the house yesterday, maybe it was the bookshelves that did it, I don't know, but at the end of the day I was having trouble walking and my kids joked that I looked like Alistor Moody. After a painful night I woke up and knew where my medicine was. Thank you Adriene, this was beautiful.
This really helped with my sciatica pain, just 3 sessions and the pain was 70% gone. i just couldn't believe it! Thank you so much

@@davidweber2489 💘 my Yoga, relaxes me makes me moree agile & mentally feel beta after
For me too. 4 days and I feel so much better
my scatica pain is a lot better after the exercises
@@kanikaagarwal8742 how are you now mam
You've literally saved me from going crazy at home in pain with sciatica...It's been 6 months of pain and since I've started following this session, I can feel recovery on the way. I pay a lot more attention to my breathing now when I'm in a lot of pain and it has helped me tremendously. I haven't been able to walk outside for weeks, but this saturday I actually made it to the supermarket and back on my own. Thank you Thank you XX
I just recently started to watch her videos. I suffered a terrible sciatic for the first time in my life at 66 years old. A friend of mine sent me the cat cow exercises from Adriene and I love it!!
Her voice, her calm way of talking, relaxing attitude, sweetness and his sense of humor. Thank you Adriene.
There really is a yoga for everything. I love how each time I search your classes for something specific happening in life, I can always find the perfect class for it ❤️
at the beginning of covid, I had serious sciatic pain, almost unable to move. I watched and followed this video daily for several months. it became my meditative garden. couldn't image the pain and disability going away. I have nothing but gratitude for the tone, the messages of well being, and these very basic moves. thank you Adrienne. returning to this practice after being lazy, 7 months....
I was crying because of the pain this morning, I couldn’t walk or sit without being in complete agony. I was hyperventilating because of the sheer torture. This video saved me. Gentle, simple moves that I was already familiar with and Adriene guided me through them with such grace. The pain hasn’t completely gone away but I feel like I can get through the day and I can breathe again. Thank you.
I just found out I have sciatica and I have been in so much pain. I'm very stubborn so telling me to take it easy is not easy. Until last night I wish I would've listened. I didn't realize how real this was. I woke this morning and started this video and also read the comments. If it wasn't for you all comments, I probably wouldn't have started the video.
Adriene thank you for this. It helped me sleep last night and I plan to try it again this evening. To all the people who hold trauma and other emotions in their pelvis (like me), I am sending you love and prayers. You are worthy of healing! Be kind and loving to yourself first!
I finished the first pose and immediately started crying uncontrollably from the release i felt. I’ve been dealing with this for about 2/12 years, with a really bad flair up a year ago. Now I can’t go a day at my job without pain that makes it really hard to walk. This video I can tell is going to do so much good and it’s only my first day. Also, she always seems to know what to say right when I start struggling. She’s also really funny in a time where the pain is so hard emotionally.
Thank you. I've dealt with sciatic pain ever since I was in my early 20s. I'm now 42. No one ever believed me since I was younger. I've had so many shots in my bum to "help" the pain, but it hardly ever did. I googled yoga for sciatic pain and found your video. Thank you. I plan to do this every day until the pain subsides.
This routine cured me, so grateful
It really hit me when you stated how pain comes into our life to communicate and give us a lesson then to acknowledge it then release it. I never have thought of pain in such a way. I think I shall keep this mindset and see where it takes me. Along with all these wonderful yoga practices. :) Thank you!
Namaste :)
I could not sleep from discomfort one night this week and the following day i was uncomfortable walking abd even just sitting. I did this video once and though some of it felt challenging at first i could the tension improve. I did it later that day again and felt so much better. I have woke the next day with no pain or diacomfort at all. Amazing,thank you. Love all your videos,all th way from Scotland!😁🧘♀️
Omg thank you. I work at a haunted house for Halloween season. My job literally is me jumping off platforms, climbing cages, and chasing people with a chainsaw. I have been in several car accidents and have pretty bad sciatica but I refuse to let that stop me from doing what I love. However during the week my body needs some love after my weekends working. This took my pain away and stretched my body in all the right places. Thank you.
Adrienne my mom is having the worse sciatica pain from a car accident. It has generally gotten worse with time and she has been to pain management had epidural injections. No one has referred her to physical therapy and it blows my mind. I am excited to get her started with yoga as she has never done it but I definitely think it will help. I've been practicing with you for years and love you! I'll keep yall updated with her progress.
K I've tried this practice for a couple days and it's MINDBLOWING: I got up from the mat feeling my body inches taller and even warmer all day and that cow leg stretch is pure bliss.
P.s. today for the first time I've stayed in Shavasana for like twenty minutes, since my youngest kitten felt the urge to knead on my belly during it and eventually fell asleep in my armpit XD
You have become my nightly routine. You are very easy to listen to, and very informative and caring in the way you speak. And I am glad you have a sense of humor. Thanks for sharing with us.
I was down in my back due to sciatica and lower back pain to where I could not even bend at the waist. I did these stretches for about a month every day and I could immediately see that It was working. Because I haven’t slept good the past week I’m having a flare up with my sciatic nerve. But this is the first issue I’ve had in about 6 months thanks to you! Tysm for sharing this with us. About to do it now for some relief. ❤❤
Hello. Adriene.
I'ld love to say more than "Thank you xo xo much". I've got sciatica nerve pain from driving all day and taking the flight for 2 days.
My body's been stiff and exhausted about a week and even I couldn't do my daily work properly.
Yesterday I browsed on TH-cam for Sciatica exercise. Then I met you.
Today is the 2nd day practicing with you. All the painful and suffering were gone like 70% already.
Thank you so much again for your helping hands.
💕💕💕
This is amazing. I could barely walk because of hip and back pain due to sciatica. Completing these yoga stretches immediately allowed me to walk normally with NO pain. It's a miracle! Thank you! Thank you! I love the work you do!!!
Same here! Thank you so much Adriene!!!
Hii
I'm 35 and just found out that I have sciatica how many times a week do you do this
Wow! 😀💃🙌
Thanks for letting us know since got really pain in my hip on the right. Its been very tight,painful and feeling exausted.
Will try this too and let you know how it goes.
The cow legs pose was exactly what I needed and brought me tears of relief. Thank you so much for this caring practice and for even bringing moments of laughter into it as well. I will be coming back to this 💜
I am fortunate that I do not have sciatica. I like to do one of your lower back session as a preventative. This one is wonderful.
Thank you
Dear Adriene, I'm so grateful. I came in pain and left releasing it. You're so supportive, I feel that you got my back.
Magic. Sciatic pain is new to me. Wow! I don't know how people live with it. Thanks to you, I don't have to
I hurt my lower back few days ago. Pinched a nerve while bending over side ways, couldn’t walk had to crawl on all 4 for the first day. On day three found this and it completely changed everything! After doin it for the first time I was able to walk strait!!!! And this morning I did another one it makes my back feel grate! Thank you again for sharing this with us!
You have saved my sanity during the pandemic with your excellent yoga practice. I am 64 yrs old. I love it. Thanks!
My sister in christ, I get sciatica all the time but especially from running and driving and it sucks! This is the best cure there is - alleviates the short term symptoms and builds strength/flexibility to guard against future outbreaks. So grateful for this free resource!
Dearest Adrienne, My butt has been killing me! Lol. Sometimes you feel like a best friend. Thanks. And my butt is pain free! 😅 woot! 🙌🏾
Good stuff! As a muscley 32 year old I never figured this would be my jam but with sciatica I wanted to try anything and this is amazing! Your humor is great as well
Wow looks line my post was 1 year ago and it has been this long since I have had issues with some sciatic pain in left thigh. I have been painting my kitchen cabinets and have been in some strange positions getting inside the cabinets and obviously I tweaked my lower left back which I have issues with for a long time. Since I have been practicing yoga pretty much daily for the past almost 3 years I very rarely have this issue anymore. Thank you so much for having these awesome classes for any issue that might arise. I feel much more flexible without pain after finishing this practice. Namaste!
Thanks Adrienne for this. 6 months pain, trying all sorts of remedies. Podiatrist said it was because I have one leg longer than the other (£380 for that opinion and orthotics to lift my right leg up) - in passing he mentioned maybe looking for some yoga exercises on TH-cam. Found this. Three days in, much better already! So I guess his advice was worth the money - anyone need some unused orthotics?
This worked. Two years of waking up in pain...fixed in less than a week. Thank you.
I almost fell asleep on the mat in the meditation pose at the end there.... so much relief from such simple poses. Thank you Adriene. Sending healing to any others in pain today 🙏
Good morning and thank you Miss Adrienne and , aaaaaandthank ypu to the One and Only, Sweet baby Benji, couldn't do it without you buddy , love you so much, namaste 🧘🏼♀️🙏🏻🕉☀️🌳🦋🦋🍃🍁🍂🍃🍁🍂🍃🍁🍂🍃🍁🍂🍃🍁🍂🐶🐾🐾💝💝💝❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️💫 30:33
Just have to say thank you so much. I started doing yoga with you about 4 years ago. Initially I could do so little and really struggled. Your Thirty days with yoga took me a year as i worked through each one several times until I felt comfortable with the moves. I then joined other yoga classes until I found a couple of yoga teachers whose style of teaching I like. I love your sessions and continue to spend time with you occasionally. I just did this session and it was wonderful to see how much I can now do. Without you I would never have got to this point as a yoga class would have been too too much. You are such a gift to so many people so please keep going and thank you for supporting us and encouraging us. Following this half hour routine , my sciatica has stopped burning. I am leaving my mat down and I may even do it all again later. Blessings and love.
You are an inspiration and definitely my motivator. I came across your videos a while back when the Wounded Warrior Program suggested a 30-day yoga program. I can't express enough how much strength and happiness you and your pup have given me. I too have a Blue Heeler, named Hank Williams, and he tries continuously to cuddle with me while I am in child's pose or he lays under me when I am in Downward Dog. Thank you for everything you do. Namaste
Adrienne-I found you, your website and your TH-cam channel in August 2018, when--at the age of 49, I decided it was time to take up yoga. You are fantastic and your yoga has changed my life! I have been doing yoga almost daily since I started. THANK YOU!
I cannot thank you enough. I was in so much pain I thought nothing would help. This hit the spot so perfectly 😭. Thank you thank you.
There are no words to communicate how good this video is.
I haven’t even watched this yet but I almost cried when I saw it I’m going to start this daily tomorrow and hopefully I can finally find some relief. Thank you so much for making this and giving ppl in pain hope and healing
Updates?
i feel like this video earned a place in heaven for adrianne
After struggling to sleep for weeks due to intense pain, it almost dissapeared after this class. Can't thank you enough!
Threw my back out about a month ago moving tubs of kids clothes. It’s a slow road back, and not being able to use my body the way I’m used to means other parts of my body compensate, which in turn just throws everything into a big tangled mess.
Thank you for this video, and thank you for being you. Each day the world gets crazier, scarier, and darker. Being in the moment with you is so beneficial mentally, it’s an internal vacation from the day to day. Humans as a whole could benefit greatly from taking time to just breathe. Again, thank you.
There’s so much love and hopefulness in the comments. Thanks to you all. I’ll be started the exercices. Hope they work.
I know I have shared before on previous videos, but THANK YOU once again, Adriene. Your generosity in making these videos available is simply saintly. You are helping so many people, including me. I always come back to you and you always have something that helps RIGHT NOW. So, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you doesn't begin to say the gratitude for these videos. I recommend your sciatica & back videos to anyone with back pain. In 2021 we took a 12 hour river kayak trip. (I was not in shape for this maiden voyage) My back revolted 2 days later with severe spasm and pain. My leg even jerked in spasm. I missed several days of work with what I called screaming muscle spasms. The pain was incredible and I have a very high pain threshold. Your videos, deep tissue massage, tens unit and medication all in concert got me out of that crisis. I still use these videos to maintain back health. Thank you so much!
I was so badly in need of this video. I couldn’t walk, lost my job, went through a really tough phase. The doctors couldn’t fix anything, they suggested a physiotherapist after visiting 8 weeks things weren’t good enough. Your video was a game changer. Your voice made me calm and these exercises helped a lot as i got to know i was having sciatica. Now i feel normal after practicing this with you. Just to say thank you which is not enough i know. But just to let you know your video is really helpful. ❤ thanks a lot.
Do u do this every day or three times for a week?
I love every time she says "yummy," I always know that I will feel good afterwards, my boyfriend even laughs at her jokes. Whether the intention of the session or not, I find that it does help with my stomach pain, it eases it. Although during this session I realized that my sprained ankle didn't heal completely because the muscle is still tender.
Thank you Adriene for doing all of these videos. They help so much.
I was a Sciatica sufferer for almost 7 months. I was a bit skeptical but I was in so much pain I was willing to try anything to get a good nights sleep. By the end of one week 80% of the pain had gone. It took about six weeks before all the symptoms disappeared.. See this => t.co/9X3rwxdk3C

HALLELUJIA having sciatica at the age of 16, every night unbearable pain to try to relax my body into a sleep position. I've come so far in my pain, it only hurts because of my retail job now. Makes it hard to walk. Thank you so much for this video.
I know this video is old, but I really appreciate the way you speak about pain in this video. I'm 24 and have had to deal with sciatica for the last 2 years of my life. Mine is caused from muscle spasms in my back, and even though I am one of the lucky ones in that I don't have pain daily, I still get massive pain every time I sleep on a soft bed or work out too hard. I often feel so frustrated by my pain (so many people have told me that I'm too young to be in pain, which is such a horrible thing to hear) so hearing how you talk about pain in a positive manner really struck me. Thanks for posting this!
This was just what I needed. I am feeling the discomfort more in glute and down side of leg. It seems to come and go. Think it’s an overcompensation of using left side more than right after shoulder surgery on right shoulder. Trying to find ways to do yoga without also causing discomfort in my shoulder. Namaste xo
Adrienne, Because of you my days are better. Thank you!
Had a flare up with my sciatica pain. This practice eased my pain once again. I will do it every day and hope this will help me sleep pain free from now on..Thank you for caring.
Don’t have a Sciatic issue. Keep coming back to this particular video again and again for preventive maintenance. Awesome sequencing. TY A.
Yoga works. Thank you Adriene.
Childs pose inverted.
Half of a child's pose may help for sleeping, once leg extended and one knee up, decompresses
the hip joints.
recommended by physiotherapist...absolutely love Adrienes gentle voice & approach
"Hey oh!.....Inappropriate!" 😂 Thanks for the laughs. Thank you for helping me with my sciatic pain. This sequence helps every time. And even more, thank you for helping me have compassion for myself. You're a beautiful person.
1-1/2 years ago I had severe sciatica pain. I was on a road trip with my girls and climbing one of the trails in the Grand Canyon was on everyone’s wish list. I be an your 45 min deep stretch every evening and was able to complete the climb. As a bonus, you deep yoga breathing got me back up the trail. Last week I assisted my 186 lb Newfoundland into the car after he was recovering from being sedated for an X-ray of a lame front foot. Long story short- my sciatica talked to me. Loudly. So glad I found this specific stretch. Feeling much better, thank you.
I've been using this video every time I find myself slipping into pain that once debilitated me for the last 4 years now. It has saved me every from so much pain & struggle. Thank you for sharing with us all.
As always Adrian your humor and gentle loving approach has worked it’s magic. Always enjoy your words of encouragement and kindness towards our bodies.
I just wanted to share that I'm 16 weeks pregnant and woke up yesterday morning with the WORST sciatica ever. I could barely walk, and I was in so so so much pain. Then I did this practice and it completely made me better. I'm crying, I'm so relieved. Thank you Adriene!
Not sure why I can't save to watch later but thanks for this
I’ve been struggling with sciatica pain since i found out i was pregnant 6 weeks ago.. i have spent money on chiropractic care.. and massage too.. not heating pads and ice packs… i was just in pain no matter what.. my poor family didn’t know how to deal with me being angry or sad all the time.. then i found this video and have done it two days in row. My pain is 95% gone and i slept all night and got out of bed without hurting. It’s just a miracle. I will be doing this every day moving forward. Thanks for this.. it’s been a pure life saver. It really made a difference with my mental health and quality of life.
Sciatica completely gone after this and feel awesome, thank you
How are you nowadays?
I just found your channel a couple days ago Adriene and I loveee it!!! It feels so safe to do yoga with you, I've never felt so close to my body!!! Thank you so much xxxxxxx
I was so close to calling the Dr today because my sciatica pain has grown all the way to my heel. During some of these poses I was nearly in tears, but like Adriene said it's important to breathe through the pain. After this session my pain is not 100% gone, but I can walk and sit and hopefully fall asleep tonight. ❤TY
3rd night in a row with this specific session. I'm still in pain. Just keep practicing or go to Dr.?!?!
I am 55 and had a severe attack of sciatica pain and this really provided a relief. Other video from Dr. Hansaji provided long term relief.
Hahaha! I actually chuckled at myself b/c when you were speaking about the " corners of the mouth upwards stretch", I actually stopped and looked at the video to see if you were using your fingers to do it! Then, it dawned on me, you were encouraging us to smile. This was also great for my sciatica pains. Love you A!
This practice is amazing, I have been doing for one week and have stopped taking pain killers.
This was supper helpful, I recommend this video often! Om Shanti 🕉
Sciatica in left leg, this helped me a lot!🙏🤍
Thank you Adriene, this video has helped my lower back pain so much. I do one of your video's every day, a lot of them for back pain, but this one is super special. Keep the light flowing.
Recently started having sciatic pain after an injury. I’ve found many videos listed for sciatica that don’t fully seem to understand this injury and incorporate posture and moves that can be harmful. This video was wonderful, gentle and I love how mindful you are to how it can impact different people. This was perfect. Thank you so much! 🙏🏻❤️
Hi Adrienne! This video helps me out a lot. I have sciatica from arthritis in my lower back. I would love to see a video for baristas (maybe even just for people in food service?). My experience however has been after years as a barista I have multiple chronic injuries as a result. In the beginning if I had been aware that stretching opposite to my repetitive motions would have prevented these injuries I would probably be much better off. the things a barista has to deal with is standing for hours at a time, twisting, bending over (milk is stored under the counter), carpel tunnel and what ends up basically being tennis elbow from using the espresso machine. I think you could help a lot of people out with a gentle practice to counter a rough shift.
I've been having problems with my sciatica throughout lockdown due to Covid19. I had been following your 30 Days of Yoga videos, so thought I would see if you had a video for sciatica. I did this video yesterday morning, and for the first time in months I was able to go on a long walk - over 2 hours in fact! And that was just from doing it once. Thank you so much for all of your wonderful videos, and in particular this one
Wow ruthie that’s amazing
Thank you for always having my back, Adriene! Namaste :)
