Is there any trick to getting your legs twisted the correct way?  I’m pretty close with my arms and hands, but I’m very frustrated with the lower half.  I can get my foot next to my calf, but I don’t ever see it going behind the calf .

My instructor keeps telling me to squat down lower and raise my leg higher over the standing leg, but it doesn’t seem to work.  It’s getting to where I just dread doing the pose and can’t wait till it’s over.

I’ve only been practicing Bikram for 4 months, and I know I should be patient, but this pose just frustrates me!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
