Going into Toe Stand, even after many years of practice, it's hard to reach hands to touch the floor. Given that the advanced pose allows for bending the knees going down, would you recommend doing that to reach the floor?

How do you address imbalances, where one side seems to be stretching well and the other doesn't? I feel like I should be careful with the side I'm good at and not over-apply stretching on that side, because the other side is going to be lagging.

I practiced online with my studio in SoCal at the beginning of Covid but they stopped. I still have an aversion to going into a studio, and lack motivation to get back into it. I like practicing at home and want to try online classes with BYSJ. Are all your classes 90 minutes?

My glute muscle on one side rebels, it seizes or cramps, when I try to stay up straight, and it's painful, so I have to back off. When it acts up, it's hard to get into postures.
