Hi
I can’t get my booth feets, one feet is no problem!
How can I learn that, this is my 3 time too birkam.
Hi, Sves
Can you be more specific? Do you mean that your feet are too sore to sit on, when you try to place both feet in position beside the buttocks? If that is the case, you can try keeping your knees somewhat wider, and not placed together. Also. use your hands to support some of your weight, or a pillow/towel to sit on instead. Give the body some time to adjust and improve… 🙂
Hi sves
Thanks Sasha for that!
I would like to add a couple more questions for sves:
When you say you can’t get both feet, do you mean that your hips are too tight to allow both feet to position themselves next to your hips?
Or perhaps you mean that your feet and ankles are so tight that you can only position one and not both of them. Can you put the top of your ankles on the floor?
Try putting a well folded towel under the ankles to allow them just enough softness to be comfortable.
I suspect that what will help you first is to sit in a classic kneeling position with your knees and heels and toes together (and sitting on the bottom of your heels and not the insides of your feet). When you can do that without padding then you can start to move the knees out to the sides as Sasha recommends, while introducing the space between your heels!
As Sasha says patience will reward you!
Namaste
Gabrielle 🙂
