Day 16! Slowly seeing my flexiblity coming back to where is was before!
Everyone is still looking great, how are we gonna do tomorrow!!? Lol 😳
-
I actually tried day 17 last week because I was curious. It looks like her legs are in lotus with her arms threaded through and she’s balancing on her tail bone?
So my first attempt was to put my legs together and then thread my arms through but it didn’t work. Then I put my arms through as I was putting the legs together. That was fine it was the balancing that was tricky at that point. I don’t know if that helps but good luck everyone. Hopefully I’ll get caught up soon. 🙂 -
So I gave it a go… Yeah, getting your arms through isn’t easy. Kinoyoga had in a post that putting coconut oil on your legs will help you slide through… but I just wasn’t up for it, I’m comfy in my leggings. I did have to take off my sweatshirt though or my arms wouldn’t slide through.
It actually wasn’t so bad but the tops of my feet are really bruised and tender right now which made it difficult… Maybe socks would have added a bit of comfort on that front… but my puppy could only sit still for so long without licking my face so I didn’t have time for a wardrobe change.

Beautiful job Allyson
-
haha dog butt! Great job! I can get my arms through find, because I have chicken legs, however I can’t bring my hands to my face without falling over!! lol
-
Thanks guys!
I found this video on how to get into it funny: http://instagram.com/p/uPigiWyHqn/?modal=true
I found that if I tried to get my hands to my face I was just rounding my shoulders and back and stretching my neck… when I actually pulled my arms and legs back to my face it wasn’t happening 😛
-
Yes! That’s what I found too, I went from this isn’t so bad to hunchback! I’m gonna play around with it later today.
-
I freakin did it!! Day 17! I kept falling over before…. this time, I held it long enough to put my hands to my face and back to prayer!
-
Gorgeous!! Veena I feel like you and I have similar body types…any words of wisdom on the lanky legs front for this pose?
-
I found I was putting my arms too far through, I keep it just around my elbows and then really contracted my whole body. If it didn’t tighten everything I always fell face first. lol I also gently lifted up on my legs with my hooked arms to anchor myself.

Lol at the mental image of you falling face down in this pose 🙈 although…I’ll be doing the same soon…and seems like there was probably a lot of that happening! I got a good knee brace and feeling much better so gonna start trying to catch up soon! Excited >_
-
My kids were laughing at me last night while I was trying this! Glad your knee is feeling better!
