I get cramp in my hamstrings when I try to do bow pose. I do have lower back issues but I'm not bad at back bends, camel is one of my favourites. My body loves it but bow pose, not so much. Thanks for the tips and I'll do half bow pose and see how that goes! Love and light 🧘🏼‍♀️ 💜

The Half Bow Pose is great if you have ONE bad knee.

Hi Di, thank you for your lovely video. You mention that a strap can be used if one cannot reach their feet. This is OK if I am practicing on my own. However, when I am in a class situation, by the time I get my strap out and manage to wrap the strap around the ankles and assume the pose with the strap, the class has moved on to the next asana. Do you know of a quick way to "strap up" for boat pose?
