Hi Gina
It could be an issue with your grip and the way you are moving into your “L” position. Sometimes this problem is reflected in trying to muscle your leg into position with your arms. Is there any chance this is happening?
Here are a couple of scenarios that you may fit into. If you don’t perhaps you could use them to help you further describe your experience:
You see if your arms really are too short and you are doing this part of the pose correctly then your leg would be bent a little and your arms would be outstretched relaxed and your heel at hip height. On the other hand you could be struggling with your leg out in front of you straight, perhaps with leg angled downward, as you feel compelled to fall forward.
In the first suggested scenario, you would still feel good in this pose. So if there’s any struggle then you may need to modify your approach.
I would love to hear a little more detail.
Namaste
Gabrielle 🙂
