This is how my journey into yoga began. My own yoga for BJJ routines healed it all. Lower back and sciatic nerve pain from jiu-jitsu. Now I am feeling better than ever before and am 100% pain free. This set me on the path of yoga and teaching which I am thankful for. I hope that you get out of being uncomfortable and in pain and finally get to move pain free and freely in your body again. The body is meant to heal and you will heal. Keep up the work and be patient.

  1. dude ive struggled with lower back pain for a couple years now, my back always locks up due to the lower part being a trigger point, the last stretch with the strap has honestly been amazing for me, ive never found a stretch that reaches that area above the hip and lower back, ive done that move before without a strap and its never worked but the strap allows me to pull the muscle accross my back and already it feels amazing within a couple days!! thanks so much, from a purple belt jiu-jitsu guy!! appreciated

  2. Hi,

    I have subscribed in this channel for quite a long time because I'm a yoga believer but I never watched a single video. I just subscribed because I knew that I would need this in the future.

    Until I had this severe lower back pain last night before going to bed. I had a really bad sleep coz of it. When I woke up today, I can't get up from bed. It was extremely painful when I tried to get up slowly by turning my body from side to side but I just can't. I called a help from my son to help me get up slowly but it took me 15mins to slowly managed to get up on both of my feet.

    However, when I tried to walk, right after my first step, I felt the extreme pain again. I was shouting to my son. I went back to stay in bed trying to stretch my lower back hoping the pain eases a bit. Then I went on to search yoga for lower back pain in YouTube and it was your video who appeared first that's why I was able to watch it. I followed your 3 exercises and it was really effective. The pain wasn't really gone yet but it was really helpful to ease the pain by 59% and I can be able to walk slowly doing some house chores.

    Thank you so much. I just want you to know that I'm one of your subscribers and helped me from my back pain problem.

    Looking forward to watch your old videos.

  3. Did this after a year free of sciatica pain. Thought this would be a nice preventative yoga on my rest day to keep my back healthy. Instead, it triggered my sciatica. Here I am a week later still unable to do my normal calisthenics workouts. Thanks a lot!

  4. All due respect to my favorite yoga instructor, forward folds will make sciatica worse if it's due to a herniated disc. The best thing you can do is various glute stretches followed by some light spinal twists.

  5. I do yoga for my saitica twice a day now. The morning is my 10 min “freestyle” that I do to goo-morning affirmations. The night one is where I spend more time winding down and learning with a teacher hear on YouTube. Glad to have found you tonight! ❤

  6. This made me feel seen. I LOVe being active and I also had a build up injury of saitica at 25 too. Crazy, I’m here doing yoga and learning balancing, peace, and compassion w my body .
    These stretch are great, I changed up the cross fold one so it hits the pat of my back I need it to by bending and then breath into it. ❤❤

  7. I just discovered your videos as a “desperate” solution to fix pain in the SI-joint/piriformis/sciatica… and I felt so relaxed after doing this (and some others), but as you said it’s not a quick fix…. But instant relief for some minutes was so great… and I will continue to join with patience 🙏

  8. I've done lots of yoga flows for my back over the years and did this with a "whatever" approach… Gotta say he's not wrong, I used to always have niggling lower back pain but this Yin flow has sorted my back pain, just doing if for a few days in a row I noticed a BIG difference. Thanks dude

  9. Hi Bre and Flo, thank your for this video. I was wondering if these 3 stretching exercises are also helpful if your Quadratus Lumborum and Piriformis are painful/stiff?
    Love to hear your answers! ☺️
    Greetings Kyra

  10. I was skeptical about these stretches until I coupled them with core workouts. I did leg holds, flutter kicks, and planks to start out with the pain. No core exercises that required bending of the spine.

    I have tried many other exercises and these helped me a lot if not the most.

    I am at 2 years with sciatic pain in both legs and 2 herniated disc and I can actually workout regularly at the gym with manageable pain now.

    Grass isn’t going to grow if you don’t water it – don’t give up.

    Thank you to the creator!

  11. @BreatheAndFlow Thank you for this video! I experience sciatica on my right side. When I do the second exercise – cross leg forward bend, the pain is very intense with my right leg out. Even the slightest tilt forward agitates the nerve. Do you have a recommended regression for this? Many thanks
