What if the yoga bit isn't standing on one leg?
What if the yoga bit is the focused concentration you need to stand on one leg?
There's so much more to yoga than making shapes, and mostly the shape itself isn't really the point.
Dharana - concentration, or focused attention is the 6th limb of yoga in Patanjali's yoga sutras and you have to consider that perhaps the point is not the shape, but what you learn on the way.
To quote the fabulous ( who may or may not even remember saying this but it's stuck with me for a decade or more because it just sums up so much of yoga for me ) "it's hard to worry about anything else when you're standing on one leg"

What if the yoga isn't getting your head to reach your knee?
What if the yoga is working out why it matters to you?
To be clear, I love ( lots of ) yoga poses. But the practice is a practice for you, not a performance for others, so if having your head rest on your knee is the most important thing about this pose for you right now, maybe try some of the other yoga disciplines & enquire as to why that matters to you 😉
(Self study, or svadhyaya, is one of the niyamas - internal duties or disciplines - in yoga philosophy)
