(the foot was tingly for a month then disappeared, btw.) you might have mentioned this & i missed it, but have you tried rocking yet? one thing that worked for me to stand was walking my hands in, making sure my weight is in my legs, and then practicing rocking..exhale (weight goes back over your shoulders), inhale (hips move forward, weight over your feet). exhale back, inhale forward. When you feel more comfy doing that, on an inhale forward, try to let your hands lift just an inch off the ground and then come right back onto the ground..just to get the feeling. Practicing that might help... and i apologize in advance if this was already discussed at some point. i'm falling behind on my blog-reading! tingly-foot-kapo here.

Yes, Lax -- I reprimanded myself for my thoughtlessness as I started to walk my feet in. And yes, I saw Arturo's blog. Further reinforcement of the "hands, not feet" rule. Thanks for that, Arturo!

Thanks for that, Arturo!

I mean, golly, by now we all know that's a no-no! (and you should eyeball arturo's blog.) well, i was going to say, what the heck are you doing bringing the feet in?

Actually, I was surprised as I wrote it that one comment was a repeat of something discussed in the blogs, about not bringing the feet back to the hands because it might hurt the sacrum, instead bringing the hands to the feet. I am interested in the mechanics of this asana because, I don't know why, I have still not come up to standing unassisted from UD. I'm close to doing so, but I'm not there yet. Anyway, as I mentioned in Vanessa's blog, I'm not trying to get eyeballs over to my blog, but if you visit it, you might find something useful. I think Kino and Tim are very special people. Cheers, Arturo Hi Karen
