Yes I did it. Twice! Totally unexpected considering all my attempt with blocks have failed. Did a led class with C, I don’t normally go for her classes. She’s not really an ashtanga teacher, much more iyengar based I think. That’s my impression anyway. I went yesterday because I am teaching an Ashtanga class this Sat at the gym and I wanted to get some instruction ideas.
So it went well. When we came to tiriang mukha, she asked us to jump to land with one leg in virasana, and I managed it on the right. Then the next 2 seated asanas, she asked us to jump through, and I did....straight legged!! Not sure how, what, why etc. I did feel however my bandhas engage quite strongly though as I bent my knees in downward dog before jumping forward. I also felt my elbow feel a little strain as I was coming through, like I twisted it or something, so I stopped doing it after the second time. Anyhow, I think I know what to do to get through now. WOO HOO!!
On another note, I think I sprained my ankle doing marichyasana B..its not serious or swollen or anything, just a little stiff and achey. Hope it goes away fast..
