Have been trying to focus on different elements and trying to internalise them, the breath, the rocking and here, I'm attempting to shift my weight forward by trying to get my hips further over my feet. Started to feel something going on, some lift happening around my hips rather than just the more obvious feeling of lifting the arms and shoulders.
I was making a real effort too in this attempt to keep my feet straight. At one point i thought they were almost pointing in but when I look at the video they're still pointing out. Beginning to think this might be key though. Thighs were getting too tired so will try again tomorrow and really try to focus on straightening the feet

Brute force will certainly get you up but is not ideal. The energy of standing is more in the psoas, hip-flexors, quads and hamstrings. I don't think it's necessarily bringing the feet straight, in my experience it's like they become straight by getting the energy in the area of your knees/lower quads to spiral inwards and up the front body towards and into the pelvis.
Gorgeous back bend tho, especially into the mid-back.
