    Hi Gabrielle,
    Thank you for your suggestions. I agree with you with the towel. When I asked, my yoga teacher asked me to demo the posture and said it wasn’t too bad and bikram postures would eventually fix. I will keep doing pigeon and towel work till my right hip gets better.
    My fixed firm is also a tough one for me. I can get my right seat bone down and barely my left. I tried going down on my elbows but have since backed off as I felt too much strain on my left knee.
    Thanks again for your help;)

    Thanks Gabrielle,
    So I asked about using a towel and I was told use of props not allowed. I thought as much as I never saw anybody else use towel. Pretty classic
    Bikram studio, carpet and all. She suggested I go in the next movement towards toe stand on that side, touching ground with one hand and holding leg with other. I did feel a greater stretch but also had some ankle discomfort. I’ve tried to do a pigeon stretch at end of class to help stretch that hip too.
    Thanks for any other suggestion you may have;)
