What we call the sciatic nerve is actually a giant bundle of nerves as wide as an adult forefinger (!!!), and if it gets impinged, ohmygod it can hurt So. Much.

In this free, mini-workshop, we’ll look at the anatomy of the piriformis and the sciatic nerve. I’ll share the two primary causes of sciatica, as well as simple exercises that will give relief for anyone suffering from sciatica.

Sciatic nerve not bugging you? Great, lucky you! Join us anyway to learn how to line your piriformis up effectively in your hip opener yoga poses.

This workshop will be recorded, and everyone signed up will receive a link to the recording.
