Full Length Yoga Class For A Herniated Disc - Yoga with Celest

[@PhilosophiCat]

Finally a yoga teacher who understands that people with slipped discs shouldn't be rounding out their backs! I've had so many yoga teachers injure me further with their bad advice. This video was perfect, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! (The cat cameo was a nice touch!)

[@breitenmusicvideos]

amen to this.

Yes! It is so hard to find yoga classes without loads of flexion. Loved this!

you do need to learn to toleration some flexion and also not all herniated disc people should avoid flexion. It depends on the person :) x

I have been suffering from disc herniation for last 4 months and I have been doing some exercise to get rid of all pains. Those exercise made me better, no doubt. But I never feel painless lower back. Now, I found this video 1 week ago and have been doing this for last 5 days (once or twice a day). Just trust me, THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! Just INCREDIBLE!! I never feel such good lower back in last 4 months! This lady just repaired my lower back. I am grateful to her. I feel super changes in my lower back. Thanks again for your great Yoga Class..

I really don't understand how this is doing a good thing for my lumbar herniated disks... I feel more pain after doing this...

[@launasimmons9351]

This healed me. I had a bad fall while running a little over a year ago. I herniated two discs and the sciatica pain has been unending for pretty much the whole year. Agonizing at times. I stumbled across this while trying to find a way to avoid surgery. I experienced significant relief after the 2nd session. I do it every single day now, sometimes twice. This 17 minute session has been a game changer for me! Thank you!

[@rinianggreini277]

dear celest, thank your for making this video, I got HNP for 4 months on my L4, L5-S1, I got served nerve block injection because I can't stand the pain. now I'm doing yoga for HNP and swimming, your video helps a lot, I've been doing yoga for a week now and it really works. thank you so much.

[@sophialora6669]

I've had severe sciatica and back pain with four slipped discs in my lower back. It's caused me so much depression and weight gain. I did this yesterday and It felt 10 times better. I couldn't believe it. It's such a short sequence but it is very powerful. I am committed to doing this every day now. I could barely move when I woke up in the morning. Thank you so much for this.

Wow Sophia, my heart has gone out to you. I can't even imagine what it must be like to wake up and live in pain the way you do.

I have been experiencing severe radicular pain and paresthesia left butt/leg for the past 3 weeks. Had an MRI and I found out this week that I had herniated L4/L5 disc hitting L5 nerve root. So I did your flow today for the first time. Felt great with no increase symptoms. It definitely is a keeper for me! Will definitely incorporate this into my recovery plan. BTW, you left out half kneeling stretch to one side (left leg forward/right leg back ) near the end of the routine. So anyone reading this, don't forget to do it!

[@danharris7190]

Hi Celest, I just wanted to say thanks. I had a bulged disk and was unable to work. It was really worrying. Wondering if it was something I was going to have to deal with my whole life. I started doing this video every morning and night and had immediate relief. I was at about 90% after a month. I have slackened off recently but I still do some of the stretches everyday and I keep getting stronger. Thanks so much. You are helping lots of people and should be proud of your efforts =)

THANK YOU Celeste! Like Dave, I realized too late that the flexion I was doing in yoga classes was only making my disc worse! I did your class twice and feel soo much better, no Advil needed!

[@AlbaYogaAcademy]

Wow this is great to hear that you found a solution! Thank you for taking the time to tell me this x

[@Goofananda]

Celeste, sincerely, thank you soooooo much. I've been doing about an hour of mixed Iyengar/Hatha yoga, daily, for the last fifteen years. I also do a lot of swimming, running & cycling and I eat well. I'm surprised to find myself with an L5/S1 disc lesion, but I am 46, so a lifetime of wear and tear takes its toll. I've been in exquisite pain over the last five weeks, have tried various sports therapists/massage, chiropractors, osteopaths, but recently met a physio who told me to do repeated cobra poses every hour. From there I've been digging around on the internet and have discovered your help & advice. Thank you for your beaming positivity. The incessant pains, interrupted sleep and lack of mobility have sunk me into a bit of a dark place. Your two herniated disc vids really help and I can feel the benefits. Go well soul sister, namaste. :-)

[@AlbaYogaAcademy]

Aww, you feeling any better now? That's terrible what you're going through :(

[@Goofananda]

Hey Celest, thanks for the reply, wow, wasn't expecting that! Not much improvement after two months, still a burning coal in base of spine, a hot electric wire across right hand buttock to hip, down the outside of the leg to branch out with claws into my upper calf. Sciatic nerve getting pinched basically. A lot of pain, a lot of discomfort, but I am getting better at coping, cutting out all flexion helps, have been swimming every day with a sauna afterwards, and have had a few massage sessions with a sports physio friend which has loosened off the area somewhat and brought all the off-balance tensions in the muscles back to a vague semblance of normal. Lots of time lying on belly on elbows provides some respite and the injury is teaching me to be still. Seem to have developed enormous compassion for anyone with pain! I still do a combination of both of your two routines every morning, along with a few other poses thrown in, they really help. Best I've found online! Once again, a big thank you for posting them. Have an MRI scan in the pipeline early in the New Year to confirm exactly what the problem is. Symptoms still suggest L5/S1 or L4/L5 disc lesion. It should clear itself up on its own if that's what it is, just a question of time, could be two months, could be two years. Surgery not a route I wish to go down. Thanks for your concern & interest & all the best with your yoga practice & life, love the universe et al. in general! Wishing you a most happy & healthy Xmas & associated festive shenanigans. May 2017 be full of awesome adventure, intrepid endeavour and happy times, (and less full of dodgy politics & high death tolls of musical luminaries!) Go well Celest, sunny smiles, J. :-)

I was in bad pain and no relief and giving up up on future,was told about this and I was shocked how well it made me feel, no pain for hours. What I found out when you cross hand and push leg back, was easy enough on left side, right side I could not, i was to weak on that side. That was reason all these years I was pulling on disc. Now its getting stronger and I feel like a new man. That was my first ever to do yoga and I am hooked, thank you for this free video, I wish you the karma helping other returns back to you many times over.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I have a prolapsed disc, and you’re giving detail for reasoning behind every move. This is perfect because it explains the importance behind each one. Thank you!!

[@gabegarcia6425]

I did this last night with all the grace and coordination of a newborn horse. I noticed that I struggled a lot with things like the crescent lunge and what you called the "modified warrior III," however the move that you said was difficult (around 9:36) wasn't as hard for me to do. I have herniated discs in my upper and lower back but I used to be more fit (tons of biking, boxing, running, etc), and I still have some of the muscular development I guess, so I don't fully understand my muscular deficiencies. Nowadays all I do is sit and lay down for the most part because even walking is painful. I am planning on redoing this tonight and continuing to practice it daily until I feel comfortable enough to move onto your other herniated disc videos.

[@nataliereyes6055]

I’ve been doing “yoga for lower back pain” and a lot of it involves rounding out your back which hurt me but I thought I was helping myself since they were the experts. This helped me out tremendously after one session hopefully with consistency I will feel almost nothing !!! 💜💜💜

[@SpiritHawk]

Excellent advanced video for herniated disks. I have clients in too much pain to do some of this but they are exercises to work towards. Most of my clients who have herniated disks also have hips stuck in flexion. Exercises like these can help if done properly, without pain. However, the hip BONES need to be pushed forward. The easiest and most effective home remedy is exercises from the Hesch Method. If you are in the US, you may find a Hesch Method Practitioner who can help you. It won’t fix a pinched nerve, an inversion table can help relive pain (only for people with strong lints and ligaments that aren’t overly stretchy), but it will take the pressure of a sciatic nerve if you have false sciatica and it will fix hips stuck in flexion (happens from too much sitting and forward bending). Hips stuck in flexion cause herniated disks.

The exercises you do all depend on preferential direction. These exercises are good for discs that are herniated outward but sometimes they herniate inward toward the centre of the body, in which case, these exercises would cause further pain. This happened to me so my physio gave me a bunch of exercises which flex the back outward.

I found this video last night and tried it, and I cannot believe how much it has already helped me. For years I've been doing yoga to try to help and was never getting better, the key element there was i was doing soooo many flections. From now on i will take your advice and keep my back in extension. What a difference it makes! Thank you so much, there are no words to express how good it feels to know there is something I can do about my situation after so many years of thinking I'd just have to live with this pain.

Hi Celest!I’ve been doing your short version yoga class for herniated discs and really love it! I am about 10 months out from my original diagnosis with MRI of L5 herniated disc. I was still experiencing stiffness and some pain despite chiropractor care and physical therapy in the Spring. I’ve been doing this once a day for 3 weeks and want to start doing it twice a day. Would you recommend this? I attempted your 30 minute longer version but don’t feel strong enough yet. Thanks so much for putting this together!!! You’re awesome!

Is it true....

[@nikifiala]

Hello Danays, did your herniated disc issue handle permanently? Were you able to go back to traditional yoga?

[@ryantinloy4965]

Celest this is perfect! thank you. I was looking for some yoga movements to incorporate into my training as I'm currently limited due to injury.

[@FeatherPhoenix]

thank you celest :) this was very helpful for me, also i think you have a very nice personality and you seem like an ideal yoga instructor!! keep up the good work!!

[@TeslaDRay]

she's got this right. she's focusing on not going into flexion. not all yoga practitioners do that for disc repair videos. i mainly do martial arts stretches and some yoga, but problem is i used to equally balance out flexion back stretches, lateral lat stretches (side splits, reaching over each foot) and spinal extensions (back bends) but over the years i let the spinal extensions go, while focusing on lateral and front flexion. that can lead to bulging discs (along with bad sitting posture) so its always good to do counter postures to keep the discs balanced. i herniated mine lifting a relatively light garbage pail to throw into my workplace compactor but had to stop mid-swing because someone was in the way, a herniated L5-S1 later and had sciatica in ass and down back of leg. my usual stretching regimen, along with ice and anti inflammatories helped, but oddly enough extensions seem to exacerbate an otherwise good healing. it depends where the disc bubbled out posteriorally; sometimes it can bubble out the back diagonally, so you have to modify any press ups or extensions. everything improved, but still have straight leg raise issues, but was able to ease into a front split over the bad leg which i couldn't do in months. the whole point of this is in some cases, a LITTLE flexion can be okay as long as its gradual and controlled. listen to your body. pain is a good warning system. don't rely on pain killers. all they do is dull the pain, you continue to hit the nerve and injure it more anyway. anti-inflammatory whether natural or drug, are best bet till it gets under control, along with the right yoga and stretching, maybe some PT and chiropractic if need be.

Thanks so much for publication this video . I have feronominal Stenosis, please tell me if that exercises are good for me?

[@PaolaTourGuide]

I love your videos , great teacher. Are you a fisioterapist as well? I have beenrecoverin from earnieted disk for 3 months . Love all your exercises, but my doctor said not to extend my arms over my head . What is your input? Grazie

[@AlbaYogaAcademy]

Yes! I am a physiotherapist. Please explore any movement that does not increase your pain. But, explore them with appropriate levels of mobility so you are not compensating. After all, I have not assessed you in person so maybe you doctor said that for another underlying issue. Glad you liked all these exercises
