5 min Yoga for Sciatica Pain Relief (TOP 5 POSES)

Struggle with sciatic pain? Try this short yoga class with 5 yoga poses for your hips & low back.

Sciatic nerve pain can be tricky and painful. If it's something you struggle with, here's a simple 5 minute yoga sequence to help you alleviate this discomfort. Sciatica refers to inflammation or pinching of the sciatic nerve. You might feel this in your low back, in your hips, glutes and radiating down the leg. I'll take you through 5 yoga poses for sciatica pain relief which will target your hips and lower back.

Please remember that sciatica nerve pain is different for everyone and the general rule of thumb with all health & fitness is that if something doesn't feel good, don't do it! If there's pain while performing any of these poses please leave them out or reduce the level of intensity.

The five yoga poses for sciatica pain relief I'll be guiding you through are:
- staff pose/dandasana
- seated twist/ardha matsyendrasana
- reclined pigeon/supta kapotasana
- reclined hand to big toe pose/supta padangusthasana
- bridge pose/setu bandha sarvangasana

I used to follow you years ago and did your videos every morning. I fell into a deep depression and im trying to find my inner peace again. I came just across this one and it was a sign. I have sciatic and herniated disks in my back. Happened when I was 14 im 34 now. I can't remember a day without pain. It did help my back but more importantly it gave me a moment of peace which I REALLY needed. I will start watching and doing yoga 🧘‍♀️ again every morning. Thankyou for your motivation and kindness ❤

Omg thank you for this!! I’ve been struggling with sciatic pain for the past few months and while I have some PT exercises for where the nerve is actually pinched/irritated, it doesn’t really ease the pain a lot of the time. Yoga in general helps, but I’ve been hoping you, specifically, would do a video focusing on sciatica ❤ YAY

[pixiedear]

I would like to thank you for sharing this video, I have been suffering from sciatica for nearly a year, I had immediate relief after following your yoga video. Thanks again

[Imloeyrose]

Bloody hell - I did this for the first time today and honestly it was amazing. I woke up with really bad Sciatica pain today to the point where are little movement on my left lower side caused a flare. It really made moving hard and I struggled to even put my jeans on. However this has worked wonders. The pain is minimal now but the main concern for me today was my movement and this has helped me get some movement back so thank you!

[jaclynangotti]

Fantastic hip stretches :) so good for relief from sitting at a desk all day. Plus visits from the kitties are always a joy!

[reginafilgueiras]

I use to do the 30 min for hips and lower back which is excellent for me, but I just started with this 5 min today. Thank you, Kassandra❤

[cloudgoose]

this is the best sciatica pain stretch sequence I’ve found so far. I could feel it really getting into my piriformis, and that’s exactly what’s so tense for me. thank you so much for this!

[juliehenderson]

Oh my goodness, serendipity! I came this morning to search for a back pain relief set for my sciatica, and there it was at the top of the list. Wonderfully effective set of stretches and beyond perfect timing for me. Thank you

[joylenedelacruz]

Wow, instantly felt relief - thank you Kassandra! 😊

[alliemcquaide]

Wow I woke up with so much pain in my lower back that I could barely do my mediation without tearing up. I did this 5 min routine and now I’m sitting so comfortably 😮

[joleendegrace]

I've been dealing with bursitis on both sides plus sciatica on my left side for over a year now, these are good stretches, and I feel some relief for a bit! Thank you again!

[jessicalye]

I so needed this right now!! Feeling some relief after just that short practice, thank you!! I was hoping you'd have a video realated to this and you did! You're too awesome

[carolethorpe]

did not realise just how stiff my disc issue had made me had great difficulty getting into these poses but will be adding to my daily workout list until they become easy.

[ianfrost]

Thanks! This helped my pain and gave me a moment to quiet my mind and focus. It helps to shift the day to a positive direction

[nicholasfalasco]

This felt amazing for my sciatic pain. I will be doing this set of exercises regularly. Thanks Kassandra.

[whitepaperplate]

Appreciate the video! You're thorough and concise. God is good and so is the abundance of love generated daily for the kind hearted warrior.
