hi esther,
i had a question on the finer points of pelvic anteversion.
the physiotherapists, pilates instructors, etc., talk about finding something called the pelvic neutral position. they say to do this by tucking the pelvis under as far as possible, then rotating it back the opposite way as far as possible, then positioning it forward again at a midpoint between these two extremes.
i'd like to know if what you term pelvic anteversion is the pelvic neutral position or the rotated back the other way as far as possible position that i have described above?

It may be worth noting that BKS Iyengar continues to evolve his teaching and postural ideals. In fact, a number of the instructions in Light on Yoga are no longer taught by Iyengar Ji or his senior teachers. I've had the privilege of working with several senior Iyengar teachers over the years, including Usha Devi in Rishikesh, India. Backward bending is now taught to include strong thoracic bending ("take your thoracic spine in - in - IN!" is a common instruction).
