Yesterday I went to an 11:30am class, which was a great change of pace, so much more flexible than 6am! I learned a couple of great tips from teach Kacie that I remember in class today and it's amazing how much of a difference they make. First in Eagle pose when sitting down initially you need to put your weight on your heels as you sit, so that when you lift your leg up and over you are as upright as possible and the weight is already 100% on the heels. They say this in the dialogue but I guess I never heard it the right way until Kacie demonstrated.
The other great tip, though as always it seems so simple and has probably been said a million times but yesterday was the first time I HEARD IT is on Stretching pose to really flex at the ankles as well as bring all 5 toes back equally towards your face. You think you are flexing your ankles...maybe you are...but you can do it MORE. I also have a tendancy to let my little toes lag behind my big toe...nope! They all need to come up together. This helps with Standing Head to Knee too.
