This low energy class is designed to decompress the sciatic nerve and relieve pain caused by tension in the hips, pelvis, and lower back. Sciatic pain in pregnancy can come from several sources—tight glutes or piriformis, pelvic misalignment, a shifting center of gravity, or pressure from the uterus or baby. This class gently releases tension in the muscles that often irritate or compress the sciatic nerve. It’s ideal for those experiencing nerve pain, tight hips, or lower back discomfort, and can be revisited throughout pregnancy to maintain alignment, reduce tension, and support better nerve flow.
