Hi. Nice site.
I slipped down a flight of subway stairs about six months ago, and injured my tailbone.
Before this, I had been a regular practitioner of a vigorous type of yoga, and afterward (once the initial pain had worn off and I could sit comfortably) I attempted to return to class, and found that I still couldn't complete a class because of the irritated tailbone. Again, this was six months ago, and I still can't do yoga.
The frustrating thing is that the pain hardly ever bothers me UNLESS I go to these classes, which tells me there should be some way to compromise. Does anyone out there have any experience with yoga and tailbone injuries – which poses are "good", or "bad", different yoga classes, etc.
Neither my doctors nor my instructors can give me an answer about this - and I keep reading that yoga is supposed to be good for these types of injuries, but I haven't found that to be the case.
Thanks, Brian
