    When I do the knees, toes, etc. together and have my back straight up I can feel a slight pressure (I would not call it pain) in both quads (as I said in previous messages I have been doing heavy leg weights for several years); as I stay straight an lean back I feel more pressure on my quads. I have no problem with this for over 3minutes.

    When I spread my knees and start to try (a feeble try at best) to bend back and put my head on the floor, I do sense pain in the left quad; as I go back further I have some problem keeping my left know on the floor and that knee gives me some pain also. I have learned if I turn my feet slightly and attempt to lean back inside my feet that relieves the pain in my feet.

    FYI – I sense even the 3 minute drill has helped my quad as it does not bother me as much now in racquetball.

    Thanks… I seems to have little trouble with my knees together… will keep working on it. I have a hard, impossible, time setting out any exercise while the rest of the class goes on and so many do it so very well.

    I can kneel ok with my back straight for sometime, over the 3 minutes and having my hands  my legs…. can not get my behind on the floor when I have my knees on the floor. ..regardless of how wide I spread my knees my behind does not rest on the floor.

    Yes, I can kneel, but I have trouble getting my feet extended and flat on the floor.. Since having my muscle problem I have been “squatting” every day – not sure how straight my back is or if I am there a full  3 minutes – thinking this might help me with my knee.

    Will be back to the gym this morning and will try your kneel.

    As I said earlier I have been working out in the gym for years and can do all the forward poses alright and my core is quite good. BUT Hot Yoga Taught me my back is not weak and even though I thought I was flexible for my age, I am no where near were I would like to me.

    Sitting on the floor is not a problem. When I start to bend back my right leg/side/knew seems go pretty well, but the left one wants to raise off the mat and when I force is to go back, the quad right the left knee hurts – the more I stretch , the more it hurts.

    Because of this I have stopped doing any yoga – which I know is a mistake, but this old guy has a hard time not being able to do things he is supposed to be able to do. I still do some stretching exercises for the quad on fitness machines and play racquetball and the pain is much less now that is was.

    My balancing poses while on my left leg are also not good – I think this is a carry over from the kneww.
