Sciatica and yoga

Sciatica can be helped by yoga.  Spinal twists are particularly helpful as they work with the piriformis muscle that sits across the buttock.  In many people the sciatic nerve runs through this muscle so if it is a muscle under tension the sciatic nerve will be squeezed and pain can often be felt from the lower back to the heel.  Regular practice either in class or at home can help open up spaces between your vertebrae so that there is less likelihood of nerve entrapment.  Come along to my classes in Great Brickhill near Leighton Buzzard and Milton Keynes or Dunstable to try out a selection of spinal twists.  You can call me on 07817959161 to find out more.
