Hi Kevin
How utterly disappointing for you.
From your few words describing your attempt at the pose it is possible that another approach could have been taken. You used the words…
the teacher was really pushing me to wrap my hands around my left foot
… Those words read as though you were having difficulty in reaching your foot. Can you tell me if that is the case? Are you aware whether you were told to bend down and pick your foot up? Or were you instructed to lift your leg independently first and then put your hands under your lifted foot? These details may seem trivial, but it would help me get a better picture of what happened.
Now to the right knee in its current state. Have you iced it etc? Where do you think the injury is? Are you thinking of getting it looked at professionally? It’s hard from here (wink, wink). For the moment I would want to feel more comfortable walking and getting any acute inflammation down before going back to class. I may have a modification for you but I do first want to read your answers to the questions above.
There are physical therapists and body workers and teachers that routinely read this forum so I hope that they can give you some advice or comment on your post.
Namaste
Gabrielle 🙂
