63: Yoga Cues Dubunked: Tucking the Tailbone? with Karen (Part 2)

from Full-Time Yoga Teacher · host reika_alexi

In part two of our Yoga Cues Debunked series, Karen and I dive into one of the most debated cues in yoga: Should you tuck your tailbone? We explore the spine’s natural curves, the role of the pelvis in movement, and how different bodies respond to common cues. This conversation unpacks the difference between internal and external cueing, the challenges of forward folds, and why neutral spine isn’t one-size-fits-all. Whether you're a yoga teacher or student, this episode will help you rethink traditional alignment cues and develop a more personalized, sustainable practice.Tune in to learn:🌀 Why “neutral spine” is different for everyone🚫 When tucking the tailbone might do more harm than good🔍 How hamstrings impact pelvic positioning in forward folds💡 The power of awareness in movement for longevity and injury preventionLet’s continue evolving our teaching and practice together!Connect with Karen:Instagram: ⁠@sodiumsoul⁠Connect with Reika:Instagram: ⁠@reikayoga⁠Website: ⁠www.reikayoga.comNicaragua Yoga Retreat: https://www.reikayoga.com/pages/retreat
