Tell me what you think about this.

Looks to me like if she'd assume about the same leg width as what she has arm width it would be close to perfect. But I'm no expert.
The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking....... If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.

No expert here either Fish although the pose appears to cause some physical discomfort for the ladies as one said:

"My only problem with this pose is that I wear high heels almost every day and now I can't lower my heels to my mat. I do calf stretches everyday, but I'm pretty sure my muscles shrunk and I'll never be able to do Downward Dog properly again... but at least my shoes are cute!"
 
Woof, Woof!

That's one of my favorite "Entry level" positions. You're right, if she's just spread a bit.

Unfortunately, that's one of the asanas that women omit, because it's using the arms to support a lot of bodyweight. Guys can do it better because it's sort of like doing a pushup.
