1. As a general rule, you should be able to draw a straight line from the heel of the front foot to the middle of your back foot.
2. Pause and explore your practice if you have tighter hips and hamstrings. Take Triangle Pose again but this time draw a straight line from the front heel all the way to the back heel. Does having more space feel better for your body? If so, do your standing postures this way until you gain more mobility in the lower half of your body.
3. A common misalignment with long term consequences that I see is not having the back foot turn inward enough. When you look back, you should be able to see all of your toes facing forward. To put this very simply, let’s say you’re doing Triangle pose with your right foot forward. The toes of your left (or back) foot should be facing the front left corner of your mat. The popular (and incorrect) choice is when your toes face the back left corner of the mat. If this misalignment is not fixed, you could end up ripping your groin apart!
