“Many of you keep the raised foot in place by cheating: You stick your butt backward like a duck, which helps keep the foot from falling…Slowly turn your head sideways to glance in the mirror. Once you see how undignified you look with your buttocks protruding this way, you will want to perform the posture correctly.” – Bikram Choudhury
