Hi,
I am giving hot yoga/bikrim another go and am experiencing a trigger of my sciatica when I do this pose.
I have tried variations and even just staying upright while having the legs in the position. Should I just do something else entirely?This happens in most forward bending poses for me.

I will lo ask my bikrim teacher at the studio I will attend on Sunday to see what they say as well.

Hi Paula

I hope you don’t mind, here are a few questions for you!

So, are you still having the issue?

What did your Bikram teachers say when you approached them?

Do you feel the sciatica trigger when you are simply standing with your legs apart and turning your body to the side? Is it the back leg in this case?

Are you locking out your legs in Standing Separate Leg Intense Stretching pose and rounding your back?

See you soon!

Namaste
Gabrielle 🙂
