I really like the unhurried manner in which you convey your core messages, in every video. It does help that both of you complement each other in this too. The demonstrations are in perfect sync too. It is apparent a lot of prior thought and planning goes into making of each video. At the end of the video, there is always something to take to the next practice session on the yoga mat. Thanks a lot for conveying finer points.

Oh my god, I had been doing a halfway up the leg version thinking I was saving my knee and had no idea that still puts pressure on. Makes perfect sense as to why my kneecap issues haven't eased much. I am so glad to have found this and will use the flamingo version on my primary days now! Thank you SO much!

Yes, the knee is a very sensitive and tricky joint. It's quite easy to torque it if not careful, so having it all the way closed or all the way open (flamingo) are the safest options. Happy that you found this video :)

When I'm doing Virasana I'm spreading my calf outside until I'm sit down the floor...is it correct ? Please, could you do a tutorial also about Virasana ?
