| can anyone explain to me what is going on when people can't
bring their foot from down dog into a lunge on the sun salutations.
They only get their foot part way forward and then their knee is way
out ahead of their ankle. I know that sometimes people bring their
foot forward too early without bringing it forward as their shoulders
and hips move.
I also know there are some ways that they can come to the floor in
table and then bring the foot forward as a modification. What I'm
trying to figure out is what muscles are involved, and what poses do
I do to create the hip flexion (or whatever it is that is needed) for
them to be gradually be able to do this or a magic move to allow them
to accomplish this.
Sun Salutations are great and I know that some of my students get
discouraged because they can't move from the down dog to the lunge
easily.
Thanks!
