Thank you signed up..I really need this

[@louisaesthvetic]

I’m 25 years old and for months I’ve been suffering from an atrocious pain in my right hip especially when I walk or do the stairs. Doctors couldn’t understand what it was and I tried many medications that obviously didn’t work. I’ve been doing your videos for 4 days, the pain is almost gone and I feel so relieved. I’m finally able to walk again

[@YogawithJoelle]

This is WONDERFUL news, yay! Thank you so much for sharing 😊✨

[@김현진-s1s2d]

[@YogawithJoelle]

[@YogawithJoelle]

I appreciate that, thanks so much! 😊

[@idiotrepellent8110]

Thank you. I have Ehler's Danlos, Fibro and after a car accident I have had multiple lumbar & cervical spine surgeries. I now have the lumbar spine remote control operated implanted stimulator for pain relief. My muscles are in a constant state of being knotted up and do not relax and it's excruciating. I decided to look for a video today and tried yours and I am so happy I landed on it! I really appreciate you. Then I saw the Piriformis title. I almost cried! I go to PT to help with it so I will be doing that too 🙂

[@YogawithJoelle]

So glad to have you with us and well done for listening to what your body needs!

[@starchipman7309]

[@YogawithJoelle]

Thank you for being here!

[@moonvibegems]

Thank you. I have just started practicing this today. As i have ischial bursitis. I hope it helps❤❤🧘‍♀️

[@larrysiy4457]

I love yin yoga, thanks for this one. I have yet to do your one hour practice. Looking for a chunk of time to really enjoy it without rushing!

[@YogawithJoelle]

Wonderful! I'll meet you for the one-hour one whenever you've got time, and in the meantime I'm glad you liked this one 😉

[@larrysiy4457]

@@YogawithJoelle I just finished my very first one hour yin yoga. I must say that it’s quite a different experience from the regular ones I’ve been doing. I would liken it to spending an hour in the spa😊 Thanks Joëlle! One question, is the wall option better than the regular one or just different?

[@YogawithJoelle]

@@larrysiy4457 I must say I am loving the idea of "spa yoga!" And good question about the wall - I'd definitely say it's "different" rather than "better" (we're all different, after all!) That said, it's a useful tool to help us progress certain poses, especially in longer holds like in Yin, so if you feel you'd like to explore going further, it's worth a shot to see how it works for you!

[@helene1342]

That felt great ❤ Thank you Joelle🤗🙏

[@MythicalCrypto]

Thank you for video, did this befoire bed time. Please more sciatica healing yoga videos!

[@YogawithJoelle]

Great practice!

[@nargesalikhani1103]

That helped me so much.thank you ❤

[@YogawithJoelle]

I'm so glad!

[@boogie_woogie_man]

Thank you Joelle. I don’t have sciatica, but my entire hip area on my left side is very tight due to a leg length discrepancy, so I’m trying to gain flexibility there. However it seems that anytime I stretch on that side, my left leg falls asleep. I’m curious if there might be an explanation for that? Thank you again for all the love you put into your videos.❤

[@YogawithJoelle]

Interesting question, and I'm so glad to hear you enjoy practicing together! So legs falling asleep can certainly be due to a number of things, but it's not uncommon for many of us to experience that when holding a position for a longer period of time if our body hasn't quite yet "clued in" to what we're trying to achieve with a stretch or position. Sometimes pressure can briefly compress nerves (including the sciatic nerve, potentially), which is what leads to that "falling asleep" feeling. If it's a painful feeling then it's certainly something you can get checked out in more detail; if it's not, you can alsotry to wiggle around in the stretch a little bit to see if you can get a different/better sensation where you don't get that falling asleep feeling. Sometimes even just an inch or two can make a difference!

[@maryjbasile-filler1841]

Very relaxing and opening. Thank you.

[@YogawithJoelle]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you Mary

[@popoani4429]

Thank you prety,,im from Indonesia,,❤❤❤❤❤

[@LauraMcHenry]

Thank you

[@fouziarauf9657]

It really worked,

[@mercy6054]

Is it possible to do forward bends while having disc bulge?? Doesn't it aggravate the situation?

[@YogawithJoelle]

Hi, I'd recommend consulting your doctor or PT for specific questions like this, as I don't know you or your exact situation and can't responsibly advise on what is "possible" for you personally. There are some contraindications but everyone's situation will be different.

[@pbd7168]

I love your videos, but I didn't get any relief doing this routine. 😢

[@YogawithJoelle]

Sorry to hear that. In the meantime, if you search "yoga with joëlle Piriformis" on KZbin, you will find a couple that may be helpful. 🙏 🙏

[@melissalayne5439]

So yummy! Perfect folow up to my Day 6 Week 3 of FlexiFit and an all strength all the time 24 min. workout! Feeling so good! Thank you, always!

[@YogawithJoelle]

Oh that's SO nice to hear Melissa, you're doing so well!

[@bebobalula]

It's my experience, that deer pose and variations over it is very good, effective and gentle for the buttocks, hips and lower back. But for strange reasons it's most underrated compared to pigeon pose and swan pose, which is a pity.

[@YogawithJoelle]

So glad you like it too! I do wish deer pose would get more love, it's a great one :)
