For this exercise, you will need: an exercise mat
Lie on your back on the exercise mat, with your legs flat. From the starting position, pull the affected leg up toward your chest with both hands. If your right leg is affected, hold the right knee with your right hand and grasp the ankle with your left hand. Pull the ankle, and push your knee towards the opposite ankle. Pull only until a slight stretch is felt. Make sure not to force your ankle or knee beyond the stretch.
Tips:

You will benefit from stretching exercises for the piriformis muscle if you perform them a few times a day.
Combine stretching exercises for the piriformis muscle with hamstring stretches.

Number of repetitions:
Hold the stretch for 30 seconds, then slowly return to the starting position, taking 30 seconds.

Stretching sciatica exercises for a herniated disc with yoga: cobra
This exercise targets: sciatica pain caused by a herniated disc
For this exercise, you will need: an exercise mat
The “upper body upward press”, or Cobra, is an advanced form of sciatica stretching for herniated-disc extension. Before trying this stretching exercise, get used to “Rise on elbows” extensions, which is a basic stretching exercise for people suffering from herniated-disc sciatica pain.
Lie flat on your tummy on the exercise mat. From this position, press up on your hands. Your pelvis should remain on the floor. Rise up from your elbows, stretch your neck away from your shoulders, and draw your abdominal wall in. Make sure to keep your lower back and buttocks relaxed for a gentle stretch.
Tips:
Before starting any type of stretches and exercises, always consult your spine specialist.
If you are unable to lie flat, a similar exercise can be done standing: slightly bend your knees and slowly arch backward with your hands on your hips.
Perform extension exercises regularly, if possible every 2 hours, or follow the recommendations of your spine specialist.
Since a forward-bent or bent-over position counteracts the effects of the extension exercises, people with a herniated disc should avoid bending forward.
After performing stretching exercises, you should continue to perform exercises that will strengthen your lower back muscles and abdominals.
Strong lower back muscles and abdominals will help you prevent sciatica pain caused by a herniated disc.
Number of repetitions:
Hold in press up position for 1 second. Repeat 10 times.
