Standing Head to Knee Pose - Dandayamana Janushirasana 

Insanely observant and insanely good teacher & physical demonstrator. Not many can be excellent, then convey that in words, physical demonstration, and provide typical mistakes and correct them. I have big toe lifting issues he’s talking about, and my hands are so sweaty they’re constantly unlocking.

This is such a helpful instruction video. I was that student who held my foot for 3 years. Today I finally felt ready to kick my leg out!

I had the great fortune to attend your workshop in Ann Arbor, Michigan serveral years ago. You are inspiring, informative, and engaging. I think you possess a set of unique skills that expresses your talents, gifts, and passion for yoga. I think one reason you were put on Earth was to teach this yoga and benefit humans who seek this knowledge. Thanks for sharing and understanding the needs of the Bikram Yoga community. This is long over due. I have been seeking your channel for many years. It has finally arrived, thanks. There is a need for an in-depth explanation and demonstration for each posture for educational purposes. You bring an expertise, credentials, experience, knowledge, and a fluid ability to communicate effectively. I have been practicing for ten years and I need to learn the finer points in order to advance. The details you provide are a tremendous help and I have benefited greatly. I think there is a large audience waiting and seeking this type of instruction worldwide. I encourage you to create a video for each posture and provide us with the depth of your knowledge. The impact you will have on the practice of Bikram Yoga and yoga in general will be profound. Thanks, Ali Turfe

And thank you for demonstrating that locking the knee isn’t the same as that weird c curve collapse that passes for a locked knee either. That thing freaked me out for months and I would never do it. But your knee lock looks and sounds solid.

I love the locked knee explanation.

Thank you for motivation! Perhaps, can you record a 90-minutes class? So that we can practice at home.

Well explained. I have been practicing for a few years and still am doing all the mistakes that you mentioned. Thank you for explaining!!

Very clear instructions. Finally I understand how to do it right. Thank you!

Hi joseph u give fantastic explanation along with anatomy....just one complaint...ur videos are very few...pls make more of them.thank you😊

You're a good yoga teacher. I'm a bikram girl, goes to yoga class 3-4x a week. I'm always open, seeing how others do their postures, for improvement. I learned from this video.

Excellent tutorial! Loved the step by step instruction, places where we could go wrong and why. Thank you so much - off to practice now!

This is great! I love how you show how a beginner can progress through the pose! Super!

You're a great teacher.

Excellent!

I have always had trouble with the grip. It is hard to get all my fingers under the ball of the foot. Then I read in "Bikram's Beginning Yoga CLass" on page 46: "interlacing fingers firmly under your foot, about one inch from the base of the toes, with thumbs on top of thet oes." Having the thumbs on top makes it much easier and I hope that this an acceptable way of holding the gip. Do you think this is okay?

Omg! This all really makes sense now! Thank you for breaking the moves down it has helped me to see where I’m going wrong

Thank you this is very helpful especially the part about what to do if you can't go all the way.

Yogur videos are so helpful!!! Thank you so much, please keep making more.

Namaste, beautiful posture and I really loved seeing you do it without holding the foot at the very end. Now that was inspiring!😊❤

It is a non sense to say it is a posture for beginners. Bikram took the risk of inserting it in a series for all skill levels, but very few people master it at a minimum level. The big majority pretends to.Thank you for such a quality of teaching, Bikram should have take as his first deputy :)

Thank you for thanking the time to add all those details, I will make some adjustments to my practice.

Thank you Joseph ! That really nice what you did with the video and all the info. Good job man ! Valérie and Isabelle xxx

beautiful explanation, beautiful strength, flexibility, and balance!

👍👍👍 Thank’s

thank you

Hello sir...my doubt is how to hold the foot?....because when i go to 2 step..kicking the leg.. Finger gets released from interlocking.. How to do it?

Such a beautiful pose!

Thank you!! I’m learning so much with you!!

Like some people say, this posture can change your life. I still do not know why, apart from Bikram, it is not taught, for instance, by Iyengar or other mediatic yogis.

this is the hardest pose for me! thanks for explanation

Great instructions.

How to hold your foot if the pose is being practiced in a heated environment (bikram yoga) and your palms are extremely sweaty?

Thank you so very much for showing us the corrections when doing this posture ! I have had back surgery and find difficulties when doing this posture, do you have an recommendations?

Keep doing the good work!

Very well done

Well done sir

Very nice, keen and dead on

You're a gerat teacher! I've only been doing bikram yoga or yoga at all for about a month. when I do this I got up to the part of kicking out the foot and can hold it fora few seconds, i feel like I'm tearing the skin on the bottom of my foot apart. is that normal?

It took me two years to achieve phase 2 with the kicking leg straight!

Awesome video!!!
