    Hello Gabrielle,

    I was wondering about doing yoga with herniated disks. I have two one lumbar the other on the cervix. Ugh! Can I do yoga?

    Thank you ! Adriana

    Hello Adriana

    Welcome! Thanks for posting on the forum. So, do tell me what pain and discomfort you have with each of these herniated disks.

    Just to answer your question: In theory you should do yoga to help your issue. Normally the problem is that one is lacking backbending in their everyday experience and the herniations can occur because of the nature of the pressure on the disks at the site of herniation. The chemicals of inflammation (and not necessarily ‘raw’ nerves) can cause pain.

    Get back to me and we’ll talk some more when I know more about what causes pain in these areas (what activities) what it takes to RELIEVE the pain or discomfort and what movements seem to be limited by the issue. Is the relief you get from tablets or movement. Try to be as specific as you can.

    Namaste
    Gabrielle 🙂
