Yoga for Back Pain, Sciatica, and Period Relief
Yoga isn't about making pretty shapes for Instagram. It’s about building a body that doesn't quit on you. Whether it's chronic sciatica, a desk-job-induced stiff back, or period cramps, we use simple, effective movements to find real relief.
The Backpain Series starts here with Cat-Cow. This is the simplest, most effective movement for spinal mobility. It can be done anytime, anywhere, even on your office chair.
Frog Sits are a safe way to bring ease to a stiff lower back. It's important to keep the glutes engaged to avoid straining the back. Go slow and listen to your body.
The humble Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) is a gentle but powerful movement for back pain, especially for those with desk jobs. It helps open the lower back and relieve stiffness.
Salabhasana (Locust Pose) is a must for back pain. It lengthens the spine, builds strength in the back muscles, and helps relieve stiffness. Start by lifting just your arms or legs, and build from there.
A simple way to find relief during your period is Supta Baddhakonasana (Reclining Butterfly Pose) with props. This supported pose increases blood circulation to the pelvis and relieves lower back discomfort.
About Yoga for Aches, Pains & Period Relief
You might think you need a magic pill for that backache, but often you just need to move your spine the right way. I watch your screen with my 'spy eyes'—if your lumbar is sagging during Cat-Cow or your glutes are sleeping during Bhujangasana, I will call it out. We use simple household props like a dupatta to safely modify poses for sciatica and disc issues. You aren't just following a random video; you're learning exactly how to adjust your practice to get out of pain.
Move with Purpose, Not Just Effort
I don't teach generic yoga. When you're dealing with a slip disc or sciatica, the last thing you need is a cookie-cutter flow that ignores your limitations. My classes are about biomechanics—understanding the 'why' behind the 'what.'
My Approach to Pain
- Back Pain & Sciatica: We focus on spinal mobility and core stability, not just flexibility. We use movements like Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) and Salabhasana (Locust Pose) to strengthen the back muscles that support your spine. If you've got a desk job that's wrecking your posture, we work on counter-movements to open up those tight hips and shoulders.
- Period Relief: Some days, the best pose is one that helps you breathe through the discomfort. We use restorative poses like Supta Baddhakonasana (Reclining Butterfly Pose) with pillows or cushions to gently open the pelvis and improve circulation, giving you relief without the strain.
Real-Time Correction
Because I limit my batches to 10 people, I can actually see you. If your alignment is off, I’ll tell you to fix it. We use common household items—a water bottle, a cushion, or a dupatta—to make sure you get the support you need.
How to Start
Yoga is discipline. I don't give out recordings for missed classes because I want you to show up for yourself. If you're tired of guessing what works for your aches and want a teacher who will actually watch your form, let’s get you on the mat.
