This creates a Hip external rotation in the front leg and a Hip extension in the back leg. Try to feel both.
Avoid leaning to one side and instead support the position with the arms and allow the hips to drop over time.
You should not feel any pain in the knee. If you do, back out of the posture and try again by bending your front knee a little more (smaller angle), using props as needed (see Block-support pigeon ).
