Totally agree about activating front, back, upper, lower leg muscle groups (plus gluts, and feet) ... It helped me understand that locking the knee does not mean hyper-extending the knee area. Also, that we hear "don't lock the knee" because when we're doing impact sports or dance we should not land on a stiff knee (which is a different thing). Visualizing the energy flow, including dristi, and being 'able' to engage the different muscle groups will be a challenge - but more effective than just using the lifting the front of the thigh muscles! Thanks.
This was amazingly helpful. Thank you so much. I just started doing Bikram and I need to make sure that I am doing the poses safely especially for my hips and knees :)
Thank you for this information. I had problems with stability and balance, because of poor connection with body and ground (I wasn't centered well, I also had joint pain in legs, poor circulation...). This video helped me understend how enerrgy flows through body and how you can be more grounded, centred and pain free. Thank you.
