Yoga questions plus dog stuff

[Guest guest]

I have two minor questions about poses for the

knowledgable few who still deign to haunt this site.<br><br>1)

In Prasarita Pado C, when you clasp hands behind

your back, are your palms together or only fingers

interlaced, palms apart? I was initially taught palms

together, but I am seeing a lot more of the palms apart

(which seems to make it easier to lower the hands toward

the floor).<br><br>2) In Supta Padangusthasana, one

of my favorite poses, is the foot of the "standing"

leg pointed or flexed? Again, I have always been

taught to keep the foot flexed, as if it really were a

standing leg, but recently a student of a senior student

told me to point the foot. And what about the leg you

are pulling? Flexed foot or pointed?<br><br>Just

wonderin'...<br><br>John, sorry to hear about big old Kia. I hope she'll be

walking fine again soon. Keep us posted. After three

sessions, Cassandra still has not responded to acupuncture

so we got her fitted for wheels last weekend. She'll

be rolling by Christmas (she'll be corgi hell on

wheels) and I'll post a new shot of her. At least next

Halloween I can take her out as Borg dog.

Hi, this is in response to an old post by bandawoman. When you spin the palms

open for prasarita paddotanasasna c do it so the thumbs are on top.
