Hmmm...in my shala they do something like that for bhekasana. The adjuster sits on your legs and then pulls your shoulders back. Oh, I see.

You're not being thick, you're just not envisioning it. He uses his weight to push down on my feet, which pops my upper body up more, and which he can then pull back more into the backbend. My feet aren't pointed, like here: http://de.ashtangayoga.info/asana-vinyasa/intermediate-series/05-Dhanurasana.html , but flat, so he can sit his weight down on them. Does that make more sense? If not, I'll try to get a photo the next time someone has a camera at the shala. Haha! You’re not being thick, you’re just not envisioning it.

I rarely receive Dhanurasana adjustments but when I do, the adjuster grabs my feet and pulls them up higher. I am sorry to be so thick, but how can he sit on your feet when they are up in the air????

Dhanurasana. I was like a little boat, and he sat his butt on my feet (i.e., stern). Tell me what you are accustomed to as a dhanurasana adjustment. This is the only kind I've ever experienced, so I'm curious to hear! Nope. Dhanurasana. I was like a little boat, and he sat his butt on my feet (i.e., stern).
