    Hi Martina

    Do you know that it is common not to be able to swap your legs over between sides of Janushirasana without needing the support of your hands? I don’t need my hands now but I remember that in the beginning it had to do with hip flexibility (and my scoliosis actually) that I had to put my hands down.

    Try releasing up, bringing your body square to the mirror again and moving one leg at a time before twisting to the left. Sounds basic. If that doesn’t work then I guess, just notice without judgment. All it will take is some patience because you WILL manage, and probably sooner than you think. :cheese:

    (PS I will get onto the Camel question tomorrow, that will be a bit longer ;))

    Namaste
    Gabrielle 🙂

    Hi Gabrielle,

    I’ve tried again today and I managed to move my legs without help. I guess it was mainly because you told me it’s possible, which might sound silly, but it’s often the reason why sometimes people can’t do something. I kept thinking that maybe it was impossible for me. So once I heard you couldn’t do either at the beginning I felt relaxed and I tried with a curious attitude.

    Thank you
