What to do if it does not work out, as in the video

1

If you struggle to get into the pose without strain, use blocks for stable support. Be sure you keep your pelvis aligned.

2

If you are unable to keep your legs straight without straining, try bringing the knee of your back leg onto the floor and come a bit higher, only bend towards the front leg as far as you feel comfortable.
