This is my new favorite pose. Pigeon pose cured my sciatica...but this pose brings it to a whole new level....my entrance is still kind of clunky though...any help would be appreciated.
Good to hear about your spine - congrats, machart! A nice pic. IMO. this angle is healthier than rotating one arm inward above/behind the body. You can warm up/soften up with foot in elbow (and a gentle pull toward the spine), once on each side, before the full arms position. It's also possible to sit on a couple of small pillows, and removing them 1 at a time on a weekly or monthly basis.
Thanks HathaTeacher! I appreciate your input. Still working on the pose...that's the beauty of hatha...always something to work on to make your body feel exquisite.
