Thank you for explaining this. I was able to do an awkward skandasana. My heel still does not rest but will practice loosening the calves
You're so welcome. You can do it!
This is very helpful! Thank you!
I'm so glad!
Thank you for this, so good! First time I see someone addresses this pose! xx
thank you!! glad you enjoyed it! :)
@@badyogitv I've tried it following the alignment you mentioned and my foot pops up, do you recommend other exercises to loosen the foot, please? Thanks a lot! 🤗❤️
by foot pops up do you mean your heal? Just bring the floor closer to you! By that, I mean place a block, blanket, or rolled up rug underneath the heel!
@@badyogitv yes the heel. Thank you!
Thank you for this useful video! I have been struggling with this pose for more than a year now and it is too hard for me to bring the heel to the floor, now I know that I should work with the flexibility in my ankles. Just one question: Doesn't the position has the same effect when the heel is in the air? Why is it so important to have the heel on the floor? I mean, you stretch your hips and legs with this position, right? Thank you!
My understanding is that this protects the knee. My heel tends to come up too, so to build strength to do skandasina I start from a raised lunge position facing forward on the mat (say right foot forward, left back). Except back foot is turned as if about to come up and do a side warrior (warrior 2). Then twist to left, to middle of the mat while twisting right foot (it follows you to point to diagonal corner of the mat -- so if you are in middle of mat left foot is in the starting position and right pointed to diagonal edge, on your right, which is the top left corner of the mat from the starting position). From here heel is down and you can feel a skandasina stretch but knee is protected. You can go from one side to the other here. When strong you can then rotate the left foot onto the heel. You are far from the mat, but heel is down and knee protected, and easy to support body with hands to the front. You may find in time you are able to get closer to the mat, but the goal is to do it safely with benefits to the body. I hope that helps.
Thanks for the helpful tutorial! I need your help! Due to a collateral ligament injury in both knees a few years ago, I cannot sit in the Vajrasana (or seiza) position. When I try my heels are about 4-6inches from my bum. How can I work to get that flexibility back safely?
injured ligaments are challenging because they don't always return to their pre-injury state. you can work on lengthening the tissue around the knees (quads, hamstrings, IT bands, etc), but be patient & go easy. In the meantime, prop your bum up onto a bolster, block, or a couple pillows to give yourself some extra height :)
Thank you !
