Pilates!

I've been a Pilates fan since around the late 1990s. I have worn out two sets of the Winsor Pilate video tapes/dvds and am onto the third. I recently started doing it again after being very sick for months.

I have encountered something that I haven't before, and that is a sore tailbone. It doesn't feel like I over-stretched or did something that I wasn't ready for. It feels bruised to the touch, and obviously, just lying down on the mat now hurts. During Pilates, you are always supposed to be pulling your belly button in, and your lower back needs to be touching the mat (when laying down).

Has anyone experienced this before? Did anything help? Does it go away?

It's the best exercise program for me at the moment. I'd hate to have to give it up again.
