Good Morning!

I also have a round behind that sticks out if I’m not super conscious of it. You should see me in Tree, it’s … well. You know.

That being said, I have the most success in releasing my lower back and tucking in the behind when I put a bend in my knees, position the hips as they are supposed to be, then use my upper thigh strength to straighten out my legs. This way my hips and behind stay in the position they’re supposed to be in. When I move into half moon, for each side, I will put my arms by my ears, bend in the knees then straighten up and over in one movement. I picked this up from watching one of my instructors practice in a class I was in. It definitely helped my posture a ton!

PS – don’t be so hard on yourself hon! The more you do it, the more natural it becomes. And your thighs will get stronger too so the rest of your practice isn’t torture 🙂
