|  is there a pose that will alleviate pressure from my tail bone? I fell down my stairs and can't seem to recover from this pain unless I take strong meds given by my doctor. The meds make me too spacey and I don't like that feeling. I'm still a beginner in yoga, i've been practicing for 3 years with videos and magazines. I can walk all right but sitting is pretty painful. Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks,

| Hey gypsy,
please go to a doctor of osteopathy, you have probably blocked your sacroiliacal joint during your fall! It is easy to set it right, and then with yoga you can stabilize it. The other way round is much more painful and a lot longer!!
Take care and get well

| Go seek out some specialists: good yoga instructors, acupuncturists, chiropractors, western doctors, rolfing, etc. Not knowing your exact problem, it would foolish to think that someone can name a pose that will act as a panacea to your pain.
Seek professional advice and when you find someone you trust, put in some quality time with that person.
Try this too:

| Did you have your tailbone x-rayed? There'a good chance you cracked it, which takes FOREVER to heal.
If not, I recommend finding an Anusara teacher who can check your sacrum. Many of the Anusara teachers work with special conditions and unstable sacrums are common. This can happen from a fall/jam like that, as someone else mentioned.
It's an easy fix, but it's also something you must then learn to strengthen. If you were close I could show you how to fix it yourself, but since I'm not....
Good luck.

| dear gypsy:
Since you mention that you welcome 'any advice', worst of all vices, let me know whether you are locatted in Virginia. Same to bdgibson. You can check my website testimonials www.authenticyoga.org , testimonnials, John Kovac. The minimum you should do is:
a) use only Experienced Teacher's personal instruction.
b) Take a lot of rest and good food, not lot of food.

| Dear Brandy:
I can not recommend any pose withhout seeing you, because:
Benefit of a Yoga Pose does not come from the appearance of a Pose, but from how the Pose is done. - Neel Kulkarni 1999.
This is exactly opposite of medicine, where a pain killer always relieves the pain when taken in sufficient strength and amount. And, it always reduces the health of the patient by screwing up the nervous system in small or large amounts, depending on the situation.

| Whilst you are seeking additional advice/treatment and waiting for things to heal, you may find an inflatable rubber ring helpful when sitting for short periods of time.

| my sister fell and hurt her tailbone....it took a long time to be able to sit in many postures....and some pilates exercises she still has trouble with.....
However, this should not put you off your practice. You just need to modify what you do so that it isn't uncomfortable. Cushions may help or extra padding to alleviate the soreness. There is not a psture to practice in particular. A balanced series of postures is always best.
