Great. I'm glad you enjoyed the novelty of the poses in this class 😀Thanks for letting me know 🙏

Hi @shoppersdream I have a video titled "How to do plough pose" here: ua-cam.com/video/70KHMuHRfto/v-deo.html You could use the wall instead of a chair or you could start lying with the legs up the wall, press the feet to the wall in order to lift the hips and then take the feet over to the chair as demonstrated in this tutorial. Hopefully this helps.

@@IyengarYogawithHeather Thank You!

Thank you 😀🙏

@Tuishou104 You're welcome. Thank you for your support 😀🙏

Thank you for this acknowledgement. I agree that it does seem much of the yoga available now is to suit the western mindset of needing to / wanting to have a workout. Father Joe, who is a well known student of BKS Iyengar, and also a well known teacher internationally (based in Mumbai) has said "Yoga is a work In not a workout" 😀😀😀

You're welcome 😀🙏

Yes it is possible to feel a strong pull in the hip flexors of the standing leg while doing Utthita Ardha Padmottanasana. If you can hold it without grimacing or holding your breath stay with it, on the other hand if the sensation is overwhelming to the point of tension setting in, make some adjustments in the way you use the props such as standing on a yoga brick 😀

😀🙏

I'm glad you liked the sequencing, including the practice of Vrksasana in between each standing pose. Thanks for letting me know 😀🙏

You're welcome. I'm happy to know you've been enjoying my teaching. Thanks for letting me know😀🙏

Do you mean keeping your back concave in this pose - Supta Padangusthasana I ? In most of the variations of this pose in this sequence I would not be focused on trying to keep the back concave, in fact with the bottom leg bent and then when we take the bolster under the middle back the lower back would be settling toward the floor. If we practice the variation with the lower leg straight along the floor and the top leg at a right angle then the neutral lumbar curve should still be there, which may be what you are considering in relation to keeping the back concave?

Thank you for your kind words. I"m glad you find my lessons helpful 😀😀😀

Hi, When you activate the pelvic abdominal muscles there is a feeling that the lower abdominal area, from pubis to navel, lifts up and draws back toward the back abdominal wall. If it works for you to think about pulling the navel in you could think about it that way 😀

Thank you

@@salkashoura4928 You're welcome 😀

Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for letting me know 😀

It would be good If you could access a teacher in person to help you with your condition. If you are unable to access a good teacher you could try practicing some standing poses with care. I have a video on using the chair for standing poses here on UA-cam that may be helpful. Here is the link ua-cam.com/video/qfljCJnWcQ0/v-deo.html BKS Iyengar is known for saying that when we open the armpit chest this can have an anti-depressant effect. Opening the armpit chest happens when we raise the arms above the head and lift the arms out to the sides of our body as we do in standing poses. It also happens in down ward facing dog pose.

Glad you enjoyed it 😀🙏

You're welcome. Glad you found my instructions helpful 😀🙏

You're welcome. Glad it's just what you needed 😀

We must use caution when practicing any pose. It's important not to push or force. I was fortunate to have Guruji overseeing me when practicing this pose when I was at RIMYI many years ago. It is a pose that can take many months to attain and some may not attain it and that is ok.It is the process in the practice, not the outcome that is our focus 😀

@@IyengarYogawithHeather Thanks for your reply, you were so lucky to learn under Guruji, I really liked ur videos and tutorials I will keep practising , best wishes, hope to meet you someday in India

@@Artist_Junction_1 😀😀😀

Yes take your time,

You're welcome 😀

😀🙏

😀🙏

I'm so glad to know that you appreciated this class. Thank you for your comment 🙏

Hi. As an example of how to follow on from this practice, you could go on to do some standing poses such as Trikonasana and Parsvakonasana and / or some seated poses such as Janu Sirsasana and Parivrtta Janu Sirsasana and finish up with Paschimottanasana before going into Savasana. Hope that helps 😀

Excellent! Yes give them a try again 😀😀😀

Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for letting me know 😀🙏

Hi. yes I did say that. That is particularly helpful if there is a tendency to hyperextend the knee but helpful for all practitioners. I trust that still makes sense within this practice of the standing poses 😀 I'm glad you find my videos helpful.

If it is a struggle to keep the chair legs down you could try to put a heavy sandbag or two on the seat of the chair in order to ensure it doesn't tip backwards. It is best to find a way of accessing your leg strength in order to dig the heels into the chair. Keep trying it and I'm sure you'll find a way.

You're welcome. Gla you liked it 😀🙏

Glad you appreciate this tutorial - thanks for letting me know 😀🙏

Fantastic - glad it felt good! Thanks for letting me know 😀🙏

HI. If there is tightness in the knee it's important to go slowly and not force. Hopefully with regular practice and being careful not to use force, the knees will develop more pliability. Some knees, however won't develop any more pliability and we just have to modify what we do such as sit up on a lot of height. Some students even use a chair to sit on in Virasana as the knees aren't capable of bending that much. Without seeing you it's difficult for me to recommend what to do other than explore using height under the hips and for Janu Sirsasana perhaps don't take the knee so far out and back and offer the outer thigh and shin support with a brick or rolled up blanket 😀🙏

@@IyengarYogawithHeather thank you. Also for mentioning that some knees may never find the pliability
