    congrats! i’m a newbie too and find that i can do most poses easily and am very flexible as well. maybe you have had neck and back problems because of simple muscle tightness due to stress? I know when I’m stressed i tend to tense up and not really relax all the way. If so, I guess yoga will help with that!

    in reply to: 60 day challenge #4737

    Just wanted to say how inspiring it is for people to be so dedicated and excited about all this. I just started doing bikram about a week and a half ago and have already noticed major changes in my body, both the way it looks and how I feel. I’m starting this week with the intention of attending yoga 6 days a week for 2 months. It’s something I made up in my mind already but I wanted to get it out there to the universe, hopefully so it will be easier to get past any hard parts or challenges.

    in reply to: Legs too wide in Floor Bow #4736

    I have definitely been focusing on only kicking my legs back and letting my arms get pulled back by my legs (rather than pulling my legs with my arms). I don’t really feel like my legs are that far apart or that I’m pushing too hard, but I did notice that my knees are wider apart than the dialogue says they should be. I will try what you said about keeping them parallel today in class and let you know what happens! Thanks!
