I get about half way into it and then think, hey, my body doesn't go this way. Last week, I was introduced to the option of doing this pose at the wall, and really learned a lot from it. Mostly, the wall gives you a clear indication of what your back leg is doing and acts a guide for how much to rotate your shoulders. Stand sideways at the wall and raise the leg that is closest to the wall. When you twist, your back will be on the wall. Give it a try!
