Where's your piriformis? What is it? The piriformis is a muscle that helps with rotating your leg outward and it lies across the bum area (ever feel that tender spot in the center of your glutes?). For many people, this area is quite tender and sore and can often be directly related to back pain, sciatica and hip pain. Join me for a focused practice to mobilize the tissue around the piriformis as well as make a little space for more mobility and release.
Props: none needed but a blanket or towel might be useful to prop your hips or knees and support you. (blanket: http://amzn.to/2v0U0eh)
