If you have time to read through the AYP lessons (click on "Start Lessons Here" on the left) you will find a lot of advice about self-pacing. It seems some tension is being released during your practice, causing the pain in the tailbone. As Maheswari says, reducing the length of your daily sessions is the thing to do. You need to work out a daily (preferably twice daily routine) that does not lead to discomfort. That way a smaller amount of the tension is being release on a sustainable basis. In time you will probably be able to gradually lengthen the sessions.

Do you sit comfortably? On something soft? Do you sit in siddhasana/cross legged???
Sit on a soft surface (but not too soft) with back support and legs placed comfortably (a chair/couch may help). Also, when you become aware of the pain, stop whatever practice you are doing and place your attention on that area and be with it and try to relax it.. spend the rest of your practice time and rest time consciously relaxing this area. If it gets too severe... then back off practices for a bit.

Yes I m sitting comfortably. i m sitting semi lotus pose. I am doing meditation from last 1 year but recently this pain in tailbone have started.
Did you find a solution? I'm having the same issue - I would call it pain under the tailbone. I'm in a similar situation - been meditating seriously about a year; the pain just started a few weeks ago. I've reduced meditation to 20 minutes per day the last week or two with no reduction in symptoms.
Hello BobbyM The thread is from 2014 The advices given are sufficient It seems you need to cut down more ...and it can take more than a couple of weeks for the energy to calm down do you practice ayp?
