    in reply to: Lock the Knee #3483

    Hi all,

    I’m a first time user here, so hopefully I’m doing it right.

    I’ve got 2 questions: 1. I have bandy legs – they don’t bow out to the side, but i can push them all the way back. So it feels impossible for me to lock the knee, because I’ve spent my whole life keeping my knees soft. I’m getting really frustrated in class, because I feel like I have the flexibility to do the standing postures, but keep falling out of them because I can’t lock me knee. I’ve tried webbing my toes and really digging them into the mat and engaging my muscles, but nothing works! Any suggestions?

    2. I can’t EVER seem to turn my mind off. No matter how much I try to concentrate on my breathing and the postures, my mind constantly wanders.I’d like to say I at least think about profound things, but it’s always just useless, distracting drivel. Very,very frustrating. I desperately want to have at least my Bikram time to quiet my mind and focus, but it just doesn’t seem to happen. I think it also contributes to falling out of postures more than I’d like, because the concentration just isn’t there.

    I would be so grateful for any help these.

    Happy Bikram and thanks for reading.
