I Bikram yoga between postures we go into a position that the teacher says means our hearts have the least possible amount of work to do: lying on our backs, heels together and feet flopping apart, arms close to the body, palms up. Are the teachers correct?

Hi Cheryl

Well! It’s just little ol’ me! HOWEVER … Anyone is free to answer any question they like! :cheese: It’s a position of total relaxation. If you don’t let your body go then you’re holding tension then that means you’re not as relaxed! So lie there and relax. You allow the legs to extend and then feet to fall out. You allow the arms to lie by the body. Don’t worry about creating an exact distance of feet apart. Sometimes you’ll hear an instructor say, start with heels together. However if you are carrying extra weight then perhaps that’s too uncomfortable. So let yourself chill. Start with them close or touching, whatever works.

Namaste
Gabrielle 🙂
