Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Have U tried placing a pillow or towel under ur ankles? That can help ease the pressure of the flexion. I had to do this for awhile and over time (and practice) my ankles stretched open more. The other thing that helped was putting the pillow my butt, so experiment to see what's most comfortable. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 I always advise new students to sit on a folded yoga blanket with the feet hanging off the back. This elevates the foot a little bit so they have less pressure on them which makes it much easier to sustain the pose. In addition after coming off the heels it is good to massage the arches and heels for a few seconds in order to ease pressure on the feet. Good luck and don't worry it will get easier over time.
