Ask about tree pose
Q: Hi, I'm a beginner who have been taking hot yoga class for 3 months.
My problem is that I can't do tree pose or cowface at all.
I just drop my leg as soon as I lift my leg even if other beginners
can do easily and simply. Does my pelvis incorrect?
A: Thank you for asking your question, first of all, it is important to perform
by accepting the limit of your body. Yoga is not a competition, of course
you need to improve the posture more little by little.
In my opinion, your problem (about tree pose) is relates to "lack of muscles"
Maybe you don't have enough power of muscles to pull your leg.
It is helpful to perform yoga pose by analyzing how your pelvis is incorrect.
What you practice yoga pose too much when your pelvis is incorrect
makes your pelvis worse.
Go easy on yourself ! Don't overdo it, just relax and practice little by little.
