…I have been practicing Bikram yoga for 3 years. Last fall I had an interuption and gained quite a bit of weight.

Dandayamana Janushirasana posture used to be one of my favorites. I found it completely mediative and calming, and the focus, oh the focus.

HOWEVER, the weight in my belly in causing me problems, i can not get to the bottom of my lifted foot to get into the posture.

I still think it’s a great posture, but how to get into the posture? What do you suggest? ?

Hello Edge

I was wondering if you had a look at another post in this pose. It has one of the modifications that would suit you.

Take a look at:
cannot reach my feet.

The other thing that could work is bring your knee up higher than hip height so that your thigh is angled up a bit (maybe 20-30 degrees). You may find that you can reach your foot a little easier. Your body won’t have to round over so much. Try to keep the shin vertical and try (as always) to keep the weight out of the hands, just use them as support.

Hope that helps

Namaste
Gabrielle 🙂
