Unchain my seizas

Hi, I recently attended the GB Level 1 seminar in Denver. I overheard coach Sommer say that if one is too tight, using a strap to keep the heels together during the FS seizas is not the right way to adjust this exercise. How can I not use a strap and keep my heels together? My heels roll out otherwise.

Thanks for your advice, 

Darwin

You can consider to do seiza with one leg at a time and then trying the pose with heels together.

Thanks for sharing. I never liked the strap. Will try find other ways from now on, like alessandros advice.

Thank you!!

Simply elevate the glutes up off of the heels until you reach a height where you can keep the heels together.  Then gradually, over time, lower the glutes down to the feet once more.

Ill have to buy more blocks=)

Thanks coach!

Interesting, I have been using a strap for quite awhile (based on advice from this group) now as I too cannot keep my heels together during these exercises. Curious now as to why is the strap around the ankles not a good solution? Thanks for your help.
