MOM has SCIATICA..WHICH YOGA ?

My mother has been dealing with Sciatica for a while now, and I just realized that maybe YOGA is the answer for her. She lives in a small town where there is no yoga studio. She is 65 years old. Is there a specific type of yoga that she should try? Are there are DVDs out there for beginner yoga students with a focus on back problems? Are there any lists of poses out there that deal with Sciatica specifically? Thank you in advance for your suggestions! sincerely, jules Posted 2005-07-29 5:46 PM (#28432 - in reply to #28422) Subject: RE: MOM has SCIATICA..WHICH YOGA ? her best bet is with a teacher--could you find a teacher who would be willing to go to her for private instruction? (yogaalliance.com has a list of teachers). i would recommend iyengar or anusara, personally. books might be best. tourist Posted 2005-07-29 11:38 PM (#28466 - in reply to #28422) Subject: RE: MOM has SCIATICA..WHICH YO Expert Yogi Posts: 8442 Back Care basics by Mary Pullig Shatz is very good.
