Another one is "turbo dog" - go into downward dog, and then bend your knees so that your shins are parallel to the ground. Draw your navel in and up in both poses. Remember to breath :)Yoginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09483919150641771008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449952380128375575.post-29024041420407911772010-12-09T05:12:22.348-08:002010-12-09T05:12:22.348-08:00David Keil's yoga anatomy site might be helpfu...David Keil's yoga anatomy site might be helpful.

Thank you so much for the information....Hi Melita,<br /><br />Thank you so much for the information. Tee, hee about it being a pain in the butt!<br /><br />I plan to do pigeon in the morning along with my cow face postures. I remember now that pigeon is a good one for sciatica. Side plank used to work for me as well, but not with this recent bought. <br /><br />Yes, well, I am in need of some good body work, and plan to do that when I go home for the holiday break!

But I still would like some core postures that don't involve my tail bone.Cathrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11152498049699614729noreply@blogger.com
