The sacrum is the large, triangular bone at the base of the spine and at the upper and back part of the pelvis. The name is derived from the Latin sacer meaning sacred. The sacroiliac joint between the sacrum and the ilium bone of the pelvis is a strong, weightbearing joint which transmits all the forces of the upper body to the pelvis and the legs. When the pelvis is misaligned, the sacroiliac (SI) joints – there are two, one on each side, but they move together as a single unit – are worked incorrectly and compression can occur resulting in lower back pain.
In this workshop we will explore the working of the pelvis and the sacroiliac joints and learn how to create maximum space for freedom and flexibility to relieve compression.
Greg Anton, a certified Iyengar yoga teacher, graduated from Harvard Law School and worked for many years as a public-interest lawyer before devoting himself to the study of yoga. His keen memory, precise instruction, and intelligent adjustments coalesce into an extremely methodical and clear way to present asana. Greg has studied extensively with Ramanand Patel and has studied with the Iyengars in India and in the U.S. He continues to study with Patricia Walden, his primary teacher, and to assist her at workshops throughout New England. Greg lives and teaches year-round in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
