Hi Gabrielle

Thank you for your informative reply-I wanted to attend class a few times to focus on the points that you raised before replying. In each class, the teachers again mentioned to close the gap between forehead and knees-it’s one of the most repeated parts of the script. I don’t put my forehead on the floor and do concentrate on having minimal pressure from the top of my head to the floor, more power in the arms/hands on the heels. As far as I can tell, I’m doing the things that you mention-it feels as though most of the spine is engaged during the posture. Interestingly, I have had the teachers on two occasions compliment me on my posture despite the gap existing (this was a few months back)-from the angle that they were observing, they may not have noticed the gap. I do tuck my chin in and my forehead touches my knees on the way down, but by the time the top of the head touches the floor, the gap has formed.

Are there any other possibilities/strategies? Thank you.
