In 5 Pointed Star the feet should be facing forward and parallel to each other. When moving into Warrior / Triangle poses, the front foot will turn 90 degrees and the back foot turns about 45 degrees towards the front foot. It can feel a bit awkward when you are still in 5 pointed star and then turn the feet this way, but once you move into the Warrior / Triangle poses this awkwardness should pass.
Namaste,
Timothy

Thanks for that. Just to clarify further. When moving into triangle/warrior, should the instep or arch of the back foot be in line with the heel of the front foot?

Yes, ideally that is the alignment: heel to arch.
Namaste,

Yogic Wisdom |
The challenge, and the opportunity, that Yoga presents to us is the possibility of breaking the conditioning cycle. We do this by becoming aware of the depth and pervasiveness of our patterns and, at the same time, by working to change them. And true transformation begins at the moment that we become aware of our actual condition.
Gary Kraftsow |
Ahimsa, the yogic practice of non violence must be adhered to when engaging in the practice of hatha yoga. Respect your body's limitations and inner wisdom, if something feels wrong or dangerous, please do not do it.
Please consult your health care practitioner before starting a yoga, pranayama or other exercise program.
