Thanks Gabrielle, I am amazingly grateful for your response.. I guess this from that link is the answer.. “Rather than thinking toes and heels together, think of knees facing forward” So I will be at ease then that the first position I am doing is ok as long as the knees face forward. plus all the other times we are told to put toes and heels together when standing.. Wish you many blessings.. Namaste. Sarah
