Hello! I just found this forum, and I am sure I will be a regular visitor thanks for so much great information.
I am currently living in Mysore, India and doing Ashtanga Vinyasa six times a week for 1 1/2 hours per day. This is the fourth week of such intensive practice (and my first time doing yoga, although I have done pilates in the past) and I have developed strong, uncomfortable pain in my BUM! The pain is not muscular, but sharper, and right inside both of my buttocks, under my sit-bones.
Poses that have been giving me the most trouble are in the Primary Series – front bending – my yoga teacher began by giving quite strong adjustments in these poses which is, i guess, how the pain started.
My main question is what have I done to myself(?!) and should I continue to do yoga or give my poor bottom a rest for a while?
Thank so much for your reply!!
