Class Description:

This mindful, strength-based yoga class is designed to support the outer hips, with a special focus on movements that nourish and relieve tension in the sciatic region. Blending therapeutic elements with foundational yoga postures, Doraine guides you through targeted mobility drills, nerve glides, and stabilizing standing work that’s as supportive for those recovering from sciatic discomfort as it is empowering for anyone looking to strengthen their hips and core.

You’ll Explore:

• Pelvic tilts, bridges, and nerve flossing for hip and low back support

• Supine stretches and functional movements to activate glutes and release tension

• Side-lying clamshells, tabletop hip mobility, and dynamic core integration

• Standing balance work with blocks or a chair to strengthen hip stability

• Thoughtful transitions and spinal twists for mobility and ease

• A restorative finish with guided relaxation to ground and integrate

Whether you’re healing from sciatic discomfort or simply seeking to build strength and steadiness in the hips, this class offers supportive sequencing, clear alignment cues, and options for every body.
