Sciatica can be a real pain in the butt! Sciatica symptoms can be caused by compression of the sciatic nerve as it runs through the pelvis, adjacent – or sometimes through – the piriform muscle (Sciatic nerve entrapment, also called piriformis syndrome.) Sometimes the pain is localized in the butt, although it an manifest in different ways all the way down to the toes due to the branding nature of the sciatic nerve.

Instant Stress Eraser The economy is in the dumps. Gas prices continue to shoot upwards.
It’s winter. It used to be vacation time. If only you can take a vacation from stress.
Now you can. Right now while you read this post.
Sit up straight and take a deeper breathe than you normally do. Hold it for a second or two, and let the air out with a sigh. Go ahead. No one will notice.
Now, do it again. Take a deeper breathe than before. Hold it for a moment or two and just… let … it … go.
Most people tend to breathe very shallow in their chest. Shallow breathing promotes stress and tension. Deep breathing melts it away.
In a few minutes of deep breathing, you can actually eliminate all stress and tension, lower your blood pressure, and instantly gain a lot more positive attitude.

Had a bit of hip/back pain, but well worth the journey. Of course, going up was easier than coming down!
During spring break a few years back, we booked so late, we had to stay in Marfa, Texas. Which turned out to be delightful!
What journeys are you doing for self-discovery, and self-help? Why not try a yoga class? I teach an in-person class on Fridays at LakeSide Event Center in Beaumont Texas. Pretty nice price point too. Only $4 if you are a non-resident of Beaumont. I have several of my students follow me from Jefferson Mid-County come to this class.
A wonderful facility. Clean, and spacious, with a skate park, and a neat lake to stroll around.
Plus the beginners class I teach is an adaptive yoga class. If you need to stay seated, I give you all the poses seated on the chair or standing behind a chair. I also teach you how to get down to the floor with the chair, and get back up off the floor with the chair. This class is geared towards beginners.
I occasionally either at the beginning of class or afterward do an indoor walking short workout, that folks seem to like. And if you laugh at my jokes, we sometimes do a seated cardio dance fitness routine. Y’all just need to check it out!
