hurts

[Guest guest]

When I do poses that require me to grab my big toe I can't handle the

pull of my fingers on the toe. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm

hoping as my flexibility increases it will be less of an issue.

 

Also, when I do poses that require my foot to rest on my thight (right

foot on left thigh or vice versa) like in Ardha Baddha Padma

Paschimottanasana, I feel a lot of pain where my foot presses on my

thigh. The pain is on the top of my thigh not my foot.

 

Any input?

Hi there John !

I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW I'VE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PAIN -THAT IS IN

BOTH THE TOE AND THE TOP OF THE THIGH

I'M NO EXPERT AND NOT PRACTICING YOGA VERY LONG MYSELF BUT I DO

BELIEVE WITH PRACTICE AND INCREASED STRENGTH AND FLEXIBILITY THE TOE

THING WILL BE RESOLVED- THAT IS AS YOU BEGIN TO IMPROVE AT WHATEVER

POSE IT IS YOU FEEL THE PAIN IN

AGAIN WITH THE THIGH ITS PROBABLY HOW YOU'RE POSITIONED AGAIN I

BELIEVE AS YOUR PRACTICE IMPROVES SO WILL THE PAIN YOU EXPERIENCE

WELL THATS WHAT I TELL MYSELF BUT IF YOU'VE FOUND A MORE EDUCATED

REASON FOR THESE WILL YOU PLEASE SEND THE INFO TO ME TOO ?

HOPING TO HEAR FROM YOU

Thanks. From what I've been reading I am convinced that it is a

combination of poor position, lack of flexibility and a mater of

getting used to it.

 

ps: just wanted to let you know that typing in all CAPITAL letters is

something that bugs some people (I'm not complaining and it doesn't

bug me). I think they equate it to yelling.
