@emma_forever_yoga: Hey everyone! 💚 I’m curious — have you ever struggled to sit back on your heels, even after years of practising yoga or stretching? And if you have any other movement questions you’d like me to explore, please leave them below! For anyone interested in the anatomy and biomechanics behind these videos, one of my main references is: 📚 Donald A. Neumann — Kinesiology of the Musculoskeletal System: Foundations for Rehabilitation. I also consulted research on thigh–calf contact during deep knee flexion, including studies by Zelle et al. (2007) and Kingston & Acker (2018). I enjoy researching these topics independently and sharing what I learn. You’re always welcome to explore the references too! 😊

Also you need magnesium and other vitamins and minerals like B1 that helps your body flex

Wendy An :

My knees can’t bend that far

Bison :

I did the knees test and it failed so it is my knee, but you didn’t say how to fix the knee limiting me

hayman :

Hi I find once I warm up I have know problem with that pose.

Maria :

As always, great explanation. This used to be such an easy pose for me. However, the torn meniscus and arthritis in my knees has made it difficult to do a deep flexion of my knees, especially if there’s any weight on them.😢

Me looking at you and envying you your flexibility.

Alberto Pestana :

Hi this was brilliantly explained. Followed.

Jackie Christie56 :

Love this and the fix but knee arthritis will never allow. I never remember a time when I could do this though 🤔

JUMBO :

I sprayed q20 in my ears.. thought it wuld lubricate my joints.. stil stiff

user7767752932611 :

I am impressed with your knowledge of human anatomy and your presentation skills are wonderful thanks I always learn something

Jimmy Daruwalla :

Thank you for sharing.

Lydia :

Thank you for both explaining the root of the problem and also showing what to do to fix it! 😍🥰

Hi there!

reganforrest0 :

The movement I find impossible is the one you just do without mentioning it - moving your legs from behind you to in front of you while balancing on your arms. My arms are too short to touch the ground when I'm sitting - so there's no way I could ever do that move as I just don't have the ground clearance. My point is some moves are going to be impossible for some people due to anatomical limitations that no amount of flexibility will fix.

Great advise, thank you!

Spirit :

Replacement knees makes this movement/pose practically impossible 🙏🏽
