3 Poses to Soothe Sciatica

Anamargret leads you through three simple poses to alleviate sciatica pain—the half locust, bridge, and modified cow poses. She also urges you to see a physician before beginning any practice, so that you know the cause of your pain. Some causes of sciatica are bulging discs, tight or weak lower back muscles, and tight hips. In this session, Anamargret emphasizes being gentle with your body and moving in and out of each posture a few times, connecting the movement with the breath.
