A demonstration and explanation of Bikram Yoga's Fixed Firm Posture, or Supta-Vajdrasana, by Bikram Yoga Manhattan's Raffael Pacitti and Joanna Barrett.
Thank you for this instructional video. This is not an easy pose. For me it was one of the most difficult asanas to learn. I could not do this exercise for many years, but by practicing this pose almost every day, eventually my hips, thighs, knees and feet became flexible enough to even relax in this pose.
I appreciate you addressing the modifications for lack of knee flexibility. I do a home practice and have Bikram's books and audio class cd but have found this posture very difficult to achieve and little information on modification. Thank you.
I play basketball for hours sometimes and afterwards, if I do a good fixed firm posture and hold it for over a minute, I practically feel brand new the next day. No joke.
