Condition analysis:
Sciatica pain may be felt as a dull, continual ache in the buttocks or hip or as a sharp, shooting pain that radiates from the hip, down the leg and towards the foot. Other sciatica symptoms include loss of or difficulty in movement, numbness in the foot or toes, tingling or 'pins and needles' in the foot or toes. You might be 'stuck' in a position as the pain strikes and it seems impossible to move. Sciatica is generally felt on one side of the body.

Instructions:
Yoga is a wonderful activity to help relieve sciatica symptoms. The gentle postures, relaxation and breathing exercises will help you physically, emotionally and mentally. Attend a class if you can but make sure the instructor is aware that you have sciatica problems.
