Awareness

Although I cannot do this posture fully, I can put my right leg onto my left thigh and hold it in place. However, I am unable to bend forward without collapsing slightly. In this asana, I feel slightly off balance, for I am only balancing with one leg on the ground. When in this asana, I must concentrate very hard on trying to keep my right knee straight and upward, as opposed to my knee sticking out on the side. In this concentration, I feel more controlled on my balance, and along with the support of both my hands grasping my ankle, I am able to keep my spin aligned in tadasana.
