Hi

In standing head to knee pose, when you kick do your thumbs also have to
be interlaced to the webbing? as hard as i have tried, my thumbs still pull
apart. i think it maybe b/c i have really small hands or maybe b/c my grip
still isnt strong enough, although i dont have trouble with my grip during
any other posture.

Thanks
Susan

Hi Susan

Try not to think too much in the pose wink.

I am not sure that there are many people who CAN keep their thumbs interlocked under their feet in this pose. Hey, my thumbs don’t even interlock in the first part of the pose when I am standing rounded over my leg. So don’t worry. The most important thing is that you have the thumbs underneath the foot (and not lying on top). In this way your shoulders are relaxed.

Namaste
