Thank you again, Robert! I’ll try to follow all your advices in class tomorrow, and forget about the last 2 stages for a while 😉
Good night!

Hello all,
I just started my 5th week of (Bikram) yoga, and just recently discovered this amazing website (thank you Gabrielle!)
Among tons of other problems (totally new to yoga at all, a background as a dancer which messes up the mind, 10 years out of any exercise except the one of making kids :roll:), well, I have also this one: bowed legs (with knees about 1 1/2 inches apart). And yes, just like jamesdbll, I have to concentrate very hard on moving the weight from the outer edge to the middle of the supporting foot, trying consequently to straighten the leg. Doesn’t help with the focus required from this kind of poses :(.
I’ll guess I could answer myself the questions above!?
Here we go: 1)yes, I’ve been kicking pretty hard lately; 2)in both sets; 3)I only dare going to the 3rd part and 4)I find very difficult to lock either knee, both psychologically (I still cheat myself thinking it’s not THAT important!) and physically (I feel like I still have NO muscles to lock); 6) the teachers at my studio follow ‘the dialog’ but also move freely around it, with their own thoughts and suggestions.
Thank you and…beware! if you answer this, I could decide to start with the other 2349 questions!
Cheers,
Alex
