Getting into Janu Sirsasana C
From the same bent-leg position, rotate your right foot so the sole faces up and the toes point toward the floor, tucking the foot in tightly. This is the most intense hip rotation of the three, fold forward over your left leg only as far as is comfortable for your right knee.
Described on the right side. On the left, swap right for left throughout.
What a teacher would tell you
- Careful with the knee, go gently.
- Fold only as far as is comfortable.
- Even hips.
These are the corrections My Ashtanga speaks aloud while you hold the posture.
