    I am no doctor but I can tell you from my experience that it helps to have your balancing foot as central to the mid-line of your body as possible. I picked up a great tip from the teacher today and I am excited about experimenting with it again tomorrow.

    Flex your resting ankle and point the toes towards the body. I believe this helps in numerous ways, especially with the alignment of the hips.

    Take care, practice patiently, and enjoy 🙂

    in reply to: Hand Placement #7809

    I checked again and my hans are more likely to be close to the toes. I think the shaking leg was due to slippy hands and not having my standing leg fully active. I have noticed that concentrating on the hip of the held leg can help with this one.
    Take it easy 🙂

    hi folks!

    Quick question about this: where on the sole of the feet do you recommend placing the hands? I enjoy this particular practice and I am working into a more fuller expression of it, but sometimes my held leg starts to shake. I wonder if this is just an indication of trying to ask my body to do something it is not ready to do or if I should alter the position of my hands (usually they are in the centre of the foot). What do you suggest?

    Thanks yoga doctoes and patience 🙂
