unbelievable. i used to have massive pain on the outer side of the first
bent foot. i could never keep lotus more than a second it hurt so much. and
after this video, i was able to not only do lotus, lift my body but i also
did the half peacock. kino u have a gift. thanks, love from you tokyo.
I am almost there!!! =D My feet keep sliding off of my thighs though. I
guess I need to continue stretching and opening my hips more. Thanks for
helping the noobs out. lol and thank you for being such a wonderful
inspiration.
This helped me with my jiu jitsu thank you!
haven’t been able to get into full lotus for a few years now. thanks!
Hi kino, i was wondering what advice you have for someone with
oversupinated feet. unfortunately i was in over my head because i’m pretty
flexible in general and i forced my already flared out feet into lotus
position to meditate everyday. Within 2 months my feet became so
oversupinated that i wear custom made orthotics and i’m 19… simple things
like downward dog feels painful and misaligned and i don’t know if there
are any postures to correct this. I already learned a lot from my
impatience.. but thank you so much for any advice you may have! namaste :)
Kino is the german word for cinema ;)
Ow! Lemme try that… safely.
I would soooo eat that!!!!
How to get into a lotus position safely >
guys are not meant for this, i’ll keep meditating in the indian sitting
position
Hello Kino, I’mm having problem with my right knee. I hope you will find
time to email me back… When I do janu sirsasana I feel pain (any time
when deeply bend this leg). My pain is: right hand side of my knee on
outside of my leg. I walked down from the mountain last week n then my pain
started. That’s not the first time but the pain went away after a day. Now
its hurting all the time. What should I do? I don’t want to stop
practicing… Thank u Matylda x
A Practical Primer for Easing into Full Lotus ~

MY FEETS, IT HURTS
You wanna waterbend use lotus postion put hands in water
Splits are a different movement in the hip joint. Be sure to focus on
external rotation and one day it will come 🙂
Awesome!!!
does that require leg flexiblity? i’m capoeirista (i know this has nothing
to do with yoga) and i’ve been stretching for the past months to improve my
leg flexibilty. is that going to help? thanks.
I’m 37 and I’d really like to do lotus position, but my hips are very
stiff. How long would it take to get there? and how long would I have to
practice at it each day?
im a 16 year old male and id like to do this. btw you are beautiful.
anyways im working on stretching now .
holy crap it worked!
Wow!! That’s awesome, congrats 🙂
hello kino quick question i just started jiu jitsu 2 months ago i need to
have good flexablity and ive been practicing stretch like the lotus
unfornately im very short i only stand at 5 foot1 it almost feels as if my
legs are unable to get to the position please any advice or tips
Wow, that’s awesome!!!!
whenever I try this it feels like my ankles are going to pierce my thighs.
they press into my legs pretty hard and it hurts a lot sometimes. what can
I do to overcome this?
Kino you ARE AMAZING!!
Thank you for this!
Sometimes the joints crack while opening. As long as you feel no pain when
this happens it’s ok.
omg I can’t believe I actually just did that..
The body definitely “talks” to you during yoga practice.
I have always been able to do this and in not flexible at all.i can even do
I without using my hands to pull it all the way up
very nice video could you make a video for getting into baddha padmasana
(to finish the lotus cycle after half and full lotus) Thanks
Remember to be patient 🙂
A lot of pain is never good. How are you doing now?
hi, you think there is such a thing as receiving “telepathic” messages from
each of your body parts? Because I think it’s happening to me sometimes,
though I’m not completely into the sixth sense yet
thanx dear.it really worked…i succeeded on firsr try………
Yes I was just kidding 😉 You are Teaching me a lot from you videos and not
just the positions but the Spiritual stuff as well. I am a Beginner at this
but am pleased at the progress and I am getting more and more into it as
look forward to Yoga every day now I see it as very constructive! I am in
the process of watching all of you videos and Thank you again!
Place a small towel between the two to add some extra padding.
Thanks – this pose is a real sticking point with my practice at the moment,
thought my chunky thighs were prohibiting my progress in this, but perhaps
not!!
Great pose.
