Aloha Jetay,
Master Lin would recommend doing his hip/knee/ankle stretches from level 2 before doing full lotus. If you do a search on this Forum, there are some other stretching suggestions that may assist you.
Doing the full lotus during your hour-long Small Universe CD would probably be a good next step. It can be a gradual process and any time you may be in class with Chunyi, or those who go to the association meetings have an ideal time to practice and make increased progress due to the accumulated healing energy during those events.
Of course you can move all the furniture out of your living room and always watch TV etc. in the full lotus on the floor!
I would go into full lotus when ever I would be sitting down for a period at work or home.
Much Love, Shawn
