Hi BRT
Welcome to yoga and the forum! 🙂
It’s wonderful that you’re feeling great even after a small proportion of class. Imagine what it will be like when you do the whole thing! 😆
Look, it’s the nature of learning new skills that makes it very difficult to pay attention to everything you need to without overloading the senses. That’s part of the reason why we can become unconsciously competent at skills … and here’s the important part … over time.
So here are 2 things to look at:
>> 1 is a blog about locking the knee. In short, it’s about using the muscles (not just locking the joint and somewhat leaning into it). Using these muscles could take some time, hence the discomfort you may feel when you start to do this.
Go there first and check it out. If that resonates for you and you realise that you’ve not been using your muscles then that’s a big enough chunk for you to take to your second class.
If you need more information about a different aspect of yoga technique then I ask you to:
>> 2 Look at this video about how to use the feet and legs to support your yoga practice. That video is called “Great Posture From The Ground Up.”
There may be some stuff in both those posts that presume prior knowledge or experience. Just get the info that will give you the confidence to keep up your yoga and … Go Back! Have fun
Namaste
Gabrielle 🙂
