Thanks for the incredible practice. I have to use some restraint with Iyengar classes or I get obsessed! Thanks again, and namaste!

This is a great video. I have severe tightness on one side from radiation treatment for breast cancer. This helped lengthen that side and let me sit up straight. Thank you!

Excellent! How long ago for your treatment?

Seven years. The tightness is chronic and needs attention daily.

Thank you so much Kathy. I’m so thankful for all the expertise you share. If you have the time I’d be grateful for an alternative to the pose where the legs are wide sitting facing the walls and you lean forwards then twist etc. I can barely open my legs in this position even with lots of blankets and there is no movement forwards let alone twisting ( i did my best using a belt but it was not really working well). Perhaps I need to work on another area of my body first to achieve this pose at a later stage? With thanks in advance for your time. 🙏🏽

Hi Camilla, Ok, sit in Baddha Konasana, soles of the feet together. Start practicing with the back at the wall for support seated on height. You can also face the wall and lean in a bit as you can gain more access to the inner groin. Also with the back to the wall, sit with legs spread out (Upa Vista Konasana like the pose you describe) and have a belt around each foot to hold at the ball of the foot. Use the belt to connect the arms to the shoulders and shoulder blades, lining up the shoulders, trunk, and hips. Make sure to adjust the buttock and roll the inner thigh inward to have the best access to gain access to lift the spine. As you have more mobility you can lean forward slightly. To help with inner leg mobility, practice Utthita Trikonasana, Virabhadrasana 2, and Utthita Parsvokanasana. The standing postures are the easiest to access lengthening movement to begin with. Have you done any of my courses? The Foundation Course will help to bring more access, to learning systematically. All my best and thanks for joining me. 💜

Hello. The straddle facing the wall was interesting. I don't have a wall wide enough, so I did it facing my sofa. That was intense probably because I don't practice this pose often.

Hi Emmanuelle, Great innovation. Just be careful to do what your body is capable of. If the leg width is too much bring the legs closer. You can turn around with your back to the couch, sit on some height, and have a chair or small bench or table in front of you, to hold and lift the trunk upward going forward any amount or staying upright. If too, much stay upright, placing two straps, one around each foot. Use that connection with the arms and upper trunk to lift upward while descending the thighs downward. Direction of the shoulders down. Take your time and be patient with yourself. Take time to practice more Baddha Konasana to lengthen the inner groin.

@DesaYogiIyengarYoga That's great. Will try with the back to the sofa and chair in front. That'll prevent rounding too much. Brilliant. Thanks so much.
