I’m frustrated:( With half-hero, my knees feel safe and the stretch is in the quads, whereas in the hero’s pose (no reclining) I only feel stretch on the inside of my knees and no quads stretch at all. I tried going up on the block, moving me knees a little wider, narrower, but nothing seemed to give me that quad stretch sensation, just this knee stretch which I know is no good. What am I doing wrong?
Am I supposed to feel a stretch on my ankle? It kinda hurts.
Lovely session Brett! Really enjoyed it. Got all the way into Hero s pose, lengthening tailbone very helpful. Was outside in gorgeous spring sunshine!������
Yes! was able to make it all the way down and my hips felt amazing afterwards
Hi Shana! Your descriptions of asanas are always so enlightening. There’s always something new to learn from you.
Whenever I try veerasana the dorsal aspect of my feet hurt a lot. Is it just me or does it happen with everyone?
That was great! I was in between elbows on the mat and lying down, which was uncomfortable for my neck. So I put a block under my upper back and let my head hang down, and that felt amazing. Thanks for the practice!
I simply adore you, Brett. Your practices are so beautifully guided. You make a 45 minute practice seem like 15. I didn’t quite make it into the full expression, but I modified and rested my elbows on blocks and let my head hang back.
Blessings <3
Thank you for the great class, it was easy to follow and awesome stretches. It’s great that you allow people to feel comfortable wherever they are in their practice:)
If done immediately the Hero pose will be very difficult and painful. But if I perform Diamond pose a few minutes fefore, when doing the Hero pose, it will be easier, exactly as the Master instructed in the video. Thank you very much, Master!
I made it completely to virasana:) that pose tends to come easily for me but the other poses really helped bringing awareness and that “stretching feeling” to my quads, which is what I was hoping to find. Thank you!
I’ve heard that this pose is really bad for your knee joints
I really enjoyed this class. A slow and well balanced one with the right amount of strengthening and moving. I can go into full hero’s pose, but not go all the way down. My problem aren’t the quads but my feet which feel really compressed and put a lot of pressure on when in this pose.
Awesomeness..another cool archival vid of yours that i missed
Thank you for a great class! I made it to the end of the class and got as far as being able to recline onto my elbows but then I didn’t know what to do with my head? I felt like I was straining my neck a bit trying to hold my head up! ��
I could get into it but my foot was hurting at the time I watched it but I enjoyed it take care I can get into it and not have strain now peace out
W sitting is very good as another varied sitting position, many Asians can do this pretty easily because the way they are raised they sit in many different ways on their knees and hips. W sitting is great for flexibility and is a great stretching pose if you can let yourself fall onto your back, you just have to either take a long time to stretch or go through the pain and force yourself down to W sit.
I have extremely tight hips and quads from 38 years of distance running. Hero is unimaginable for me but I am working on it. Even using one leg I didn’t last long and certainly couldn’t recline but I got further than I ever have so thank you. ����Namaste��♀️
Liked this, and I am naturally flexible(even at 55), so more or less made it fully. But my ankles suffer a lot, and my feet sometimes get cramps. Is that usual?
I really like this posture and practice it often and feel extremely interesting. Thanks Master!
I prefer the supta variation, would you recommend doing both?
I loved this practice! It is the second time I have done it and all of your ques are so helpful in fully getting into this pose. I was just able to get to my elbows the first time but now that I have been practicing with you for 10 months almost every day I was able to get into this pose without feeling any strain on my knees or my back. I had a hard time with my tree pose today I was having issues with balance. As always, thank you so much for your awesome teaching skills!!! NAMASTE!!!!!
That trivia at the end is incorrect. The human or alternate form of a deity is called “avatar”. The hindi translation of hero (a courageous man) is “Vir”, which is why ‘Virasana’ translates to ‘Hero pose.’
I had no idea how bad I needed that quad stretch, thanks for the great class.
Just did a trail race yesterday so quads needed this thanks! Namaste ������
Hi, tried it first time, could not make it fully but greatful for managing it with both legs and using a block, used both back cushions of the couch to relax on a reclined position and i am greatful i did not feel any pain in my knees, specially because my left knee gives me problems. Thank you!
This is more than just about the Physical Realm my love, so total attention to energy movements throughout, is a must.
Thank you for the great class! As always the instruction flows perfectly. The pace was just right! Really helped loosen my quads and back from my long run yesterday��
Thank you! ����
And here I thought the hero pose was standing straight, arms akimbo, superman-style.
What can I do to keep my ankles from hurting in the part where I’m sitting with my feet backwards? I almost made it through but got stuck there.
Sign of a great class is when u didnt realise 45mins had passed…wow
Hiya!:) I am a soccer girl, so I run a lot and am not the most flexible. I couldn’t go down very far, but was really okay with it. I also learned More about posture in yoga generally. Will be more mindful about

Loved it!! The pace was awesome! I was able to lean all the way back while one leg was straight but did not feel comfortable in my lower back to lean all the way back with both legs bent. Thank you!
Thanks Landon! I have such a hard time getting my booty on the floor. Great demo and tips >.<
