Hi Negin,
I have been suffering with something - either piriformis, SI or ??? And, like you, I really don't want to go the PT route, too time consuming and expensive - not to mention the whole COVID thing. I have found that some of Jessica Valent's practices help me as well as Annie Pilates Physical Therapy on You Tube. Jessica Valent has a You Tube channel as well as a paid subscription - but both offer some PT type practices. I just did this session on Annie Pilates Physical Therapy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSnzads6O3w It was more focused on strengthening than stretching, but she does have some stretching videos as well. Sometimes I think it strength/stability that we need rather than stretching. As an aside - are you still doing Pahla B's workouts? I ended up having to stop doing her stuff as I found it was really aggravating something in my lower back/hip/SI - not sure what it was - but I found that whenever i went back to doing her stuff my pain got worse. Take care! Donna |

It might be best if you stretch the whole body and keep it gentle. The Classical Stretch Aging Backwards for Beginners DVDs (Posture & Pain Relief, Mobility & Bone Strengthening) would be a good place to start.
I also recommend Jen Hilman. I usually do her videos when I have a pain issue and have found several that help relieve pain and destress. She has a playlist for sciatica and videos on other channels (PsycheTruth, YOGATX) as well.
