I have sciatica in my right side as a result of an ashtanga yoga class. I lost concentration for a second and felt something happen in my lower back!   2   RESPOND    EDIT   Yoga and Sciatica   Dee responded on 28 February 2004   I have suffered from siatic and lower back pain from dancing intensivley when I was at college. I really found that osteopathy helped as I was really out of alignment in my pelvis but you should support this treatment with some pilates exersices for strengthening your pelvis (pelvic floor) as you will find it will slip back. Also spent some time stretching neurogiclaly.(Good physio's can help with this see someone based at a dance college or sports centre. Hope this helps????????????

Kindest Regards, Johnny   5   RESPOND    EDIT   Yoga and Sciatica   Johnny responded on 06 August 2004   Ditto ....... my right hamstring is injured from doing yoga ... still doing it but can't stretch very much on that leg ..... Any recommendations APPRECIATED !!   6   RESPOND    EDIT   Yoga and Sciatica   Douglas responded on 06 August 2004   This is so common, especially in Astanga practice. DON'T PUSH SO HARD!! To remedy, complete rest, very gentle movement is fine, but absolutely no stretch for 8-16 weeks. Leg ingury in Astanga is due to teachers not providing enough information and guidance AND encoraging students to GO THROUGH. It is poor teaching!!   7   RESPOND    EDIT   Yoga and Sciatica   Johnny responded on 06 August 2004   Did you get any relief ...... I injured my right hamstring doing yoga ...... also very bothersome if I drive for more than an hour. THANKS   8   RESPOND    EDIT   Yoga and Sciatica   onlyjane responded on 26 April 2005   Hi I have suffered sciatica for 18mths BUT went to a Bowen Therapist last week and was really pleased. I will have to go for a few more sessions. So if any of your sciatica doesn't go I can recommend Bowen Therapy, I had tried everything before that, to no afail.   9   RESPOND    EDIT   Yoga and Sciatica   harl responded on 17 June 2006   Hi Has your subsequent Bowen treatments eliminate your sciatica? I am very interested if this has helped.   10   RESPOND    EDIT   Yoga and Sciatica   Barbara T. responded on 22 May 2008   Hi Douglas, I am a yoga teacher and I agree with you that many yoga teachers do not have much knowledge of a safe practice and don't tell students about contraindications. That's why after years of teaching and practising yoga I am currently writing a book called: "What every yoga teacher should know- Contraindications." This book is explaining about a safe practice and contraindications. Not only for teachers good reminder but also for every yoga practitioner. I wanted to ask if you would be interested in writing your story about the injury during yoga practice with your photo for my book?
