I taught my colleagues yoga today, basically just a intro to some ashtanga...I know i am not authorised to teach any of it, but I am a certified teacher from the local studio, so I just taught them as a vinyasa, flow style class.
Anyway the sequence was basically the surya namaskrars, standing asanas and some sitting asanas. Then a gentle bridge and then shoulderstand and plow and savasana. They were all curious and receptive, which is really great.
But then 1 of them asked me after class what yoga to do when about her spine being a bit crooked. Yo! was i stumped. Well I knew some basic anatomy from my TTC, but I was no doctor. From what she told me, I reckon she meant her sacrum was affected by the birth of her son and x-rays by doctors showed one of the vertebrae had somehow become forced to the side. She asked me what yoga postures to do, and I told her truthfully that I wasn't a doctor and couldn't possibly give her a knowledgeable answer, but I told I'd ask my teachers if they knew anything about this.
Well, I am googling this up at the moment, but I think I'd ask B when I have the chance and see if he knows what I can say. Apparently her doctor told her to do yoga and see if it could be realligned. I'd love to know what to do, but frankly I can't answer it...
I'm gonna go post it on one of the yoga boards too to see if anyone knows of this condition..
