Hi Gabrielle,

I was wondering, should I be worried about pain in my lower back after fixed firm? On the way down it doesn’t feel too uncomfortable and when I get up it isn’t too bad either, but when I go into the savasana afterwards, it hurts and I feel like I can’t lie flat on my back, whereas up to that point I was quite comfortable. The pain stays every day that I go, but if I take a break of two days or so it goes away, only to come back again when I return. I should also mention that I feel it more on my left side than on my right, but I’ve only noticed this recently. I am just wondering if I am doing something wrong or pushing too hard? I always feel like I need to do a forward bend immediately afterwards to alleviate the discomfort (I don’t though).

Thanks in advance

Hi Maria

I think I need to ask you a few questions about how you go in, where you’re at and how you exit the pose. (Just got back after a month away, sorry for the delay)

So let’s start with the entry:

>> Before you go in, are your hips on the floor between your heels?
>> Are your knees together when you are sitting?
>> Do the knees stay together as you go back or lie down?
>> What is your ‘final’ position?
>> At what point does your bottom lift from the floor on entry, or any time while you are in the pose?

If you have any other entry info then let me know.

Then we can move on! OK? 😉

Namaste
Gabrielle 🙂
