In the second Reverse Warrior cue, where should the tailbone be pointed?

• A. Point your tailbone upward
• B. Keep tailbone neutral
• C. Point your tailbone downward
• D. Tilt tailbone forward

Answer: (C)

In this stance, pelvis stability and spine length are the focus. Pointing the tailbone downward creates a gentle posterior tilt that anchors the pelvis, helping you lengthen through the side body as you bend and reach the arm overhead. This alignment protects the lower back by preventing excessive arching and keeps the base steady so the movement comes from the torso rather than collapsing into the spine. Tilting the tailbone upward would encourage an anterior pelvic tilt and risk over-arching the lower back, while a neutral or forward-tilted tailbone lacks the stabilizing cue needed for this pose. So, the tailbone should be pointed downward.
