Hello,
I don’t know how I got it. I first notice it after 4 yoga sessions the past weekend (Jul 9-10). It is in the eagle pose that I feel something wasn’t right. Lift my right leg over the left leg to wrap around the left ankle. The area of soreness/tightness/pain is in the buttock area at the back. Any idea what the damage is?
Hi Jeff
Are you still feeling that pain in your buttock? You’ve been ‘hanging around here’ enough time to know about the proper way to do many of the poses or the differences in approach to keep you safe. A buttock, piriformis or sciatic pain may be a result of something out of yoga or in a pose. I can’t tell right now. So if you’re still in trouble let me know (apologies for the delay by the way ;)) and you can tell me some specifics.
Namaste

Hi Gabrielle,
Thanks for the reply. It somehow went away after a few classes. I have no idea how it happened.
Hi Jeff
Well that IS a relief. If you have any enlightenment in that (buttock) area 😛 then chime in!
Namaste
