Hi Jelena

 

It's commendable to have a home practice. I do that in part because

of my work schedule. I try to go to the shala on Sundays. If you need

to get more hip flexibility, maybe you can mention that to the teacher

that you see once a week. Your teacher can concentrate in helping

you move forward in hip opening poses. Opening comes with time

 

In the tortoise poses, remember what the teachers told you and

make a little effort each day. They say things such as, extend your

legs fully, reach your head towards the floor, keep your arms straight

under the legs. For the second one, they will tell you to bind your arms first,

with the hands as far high up the back as possible (the first tendency is

to bind the arms near the buttocks). Then cross your feet and try to

get the head in between the crossed feet.

 

Cheers

Arturo
