    Wowza! I have done this class before, got further...still unable to do finale...perseverence!
    When we put the ankle by the knee & sole of ft on floor & push that knee away - what is that stretching? What's the benefit ? - I do love it ! Once again thank you for your ease & grace, beauty & wisdom - how you pack it all in I don't know!

    Wow! What great fun. Plan to practice again and again.

    Thanks Huda, it's hard to tell without seeing but this shouldn't be a problem, I would check that you have the correct rotation of the hips and the knee turning out and make sure you're moving the calf out of the way. When in doubt though keep working the hips, that's generally a good rule of thumb since this pose requires a ton of opening in the hips. :)

    Excellent indstruction. How can I overcome my anatomical shortcomings so that i can get comfortably into the final pose? I have super long torso and short limbs, but I am hyperflexible in my hips and shoulders. Do I need to do more reps. of hip openings?

    Joanna- the top is from www.Rogiani.com and so are the tights, I love her stuff!! She's a very sweet designer from Italy. Enjoy ;)

    thank you so much for the good info about placing your calf behind the back... great tip!
  • Jeanette Darbyshire     Feb 22nd, 2012
    That was fun trying. Didn't quite manage to look as graceful as you but I can see that it's quite do-able with a bit (actually a lot) of practice.

    Great sequence, Tiffany, thank you. I must ask, where is your outfit from? I especially love your top. Spring is coming and it's time for some new yoga clothes :)

    Hi Tiffany, great sequence for opening up for the kala bhairavasana. I can get the foot behind the head, but can't straighten the extended leg. I've been working on this pose...it's challenging to extend the spine. I loved the ending sequence. As always, love ur classes...thx!
