Re: Placement of feet
Namaste Smith,
Please relax. There is nothing much to worry about this. The people who are sitting there can very well understand that sitting in one posture for long is not easy. If you watch closely, you will find many people changing their positions during the long sittings.
Just keep one thing in mind that you should not sit with your feet stretched in front of you. As long as you are sitting with your legs folded backwards, no one would mind even if the legs are pointing towards someone. See, in any position the legs have to point to someone if the hall is full of people. If you are uncomfortable in one sitting position, say you are first sitting in crossed legs position ... change it to sideways or completely backwards by sitting in vajrAsana. You can also fold them in half vertical position and hold them with your hands till you can again go back to crossed legs position or half lotus position or lotus position. Normally, you can start with half lotus position which is the easiest position. After some time, you may change into half vertical feet holding them with your hands ... then to vajrAsana ... then to sideways backwards i.e. vajrAsana but legs on your side than below the body etc. Just a suggestion to indicate that there are many positions that you can try in a long sitting session.
