Greetings! I’ve been teaching myself yoga and practicing alone on and off for about 3 months now and have noticed that when I try to do heroes pose that my feet don’t flatten correctly. My right foot will complain any way that I put it, either straight back like the form dictates (i think) or curved inward for comfort. My left foot hurts straight back because of a foot injury I sustained this summer, but I can curve it in towards my base chakra and it feels comfortable when I sit back on it. The right foot pain keeps me from going into the position and defeats the purpose of the attempt, usually causing frustration and tenseness. I tried to get the advice of an instructor, however it was from afar and the middle man didn’t get the message to him/her. I don’t have access to a studio with a yoga instructor in it at this time, and so that’s not an option.
Any suggestions on what I could do or requests for more information? Thanks!
