Mysore class was alright today. Got back some of my bandhas..which went into hiding since my teacher left, so the floaty jumps are back;) Unfortunately it didn't translate into a better supta kurmasana and even my standing up from UD still sucked.
Blow by blow account of thoughts streaming through my mind in the asanas detailed below...(just shows how meditative my practice is.)
Surya Namaskaras : Good good..the bandhas are back in action..can float again. What a relieve. Phew.
Prasarita Padotanasana C : Can my hands reach the floor? Can it? Can it? Yes ..not bad..thought I lost that too. (which I did for a few weeks)
Jump through after Warrior 2 : I hope I don't thud too loud..Oh yes that WAS a BIG thud. Think I twisted my elbow on the way through..nope, seems ok though.
Mind pretty blank from then on till Navasana : Got to lift after this..oh can't do that cos of the wrist pain.. Will use my fists. Yep. ok good lift. I think D saw me cheating with the fists...hmm he's not saying anything. Great will use again for next 4. Good job..actually lifted instead of lifting my butt to cheat. Well done..you go girl!
Bhujapidasana: Ok head down feet through. Please let me get up into tithibasana for once..nope..no go there..landed on the butt again. Next time maybe.
Kurmasana : Oh good..flat today. Oh there's D coming over to flatten me more????? Ouch. Alright the stomach touched the floor.
Supta Kurmasana: Let me take some time here D. Oh wait I'm not ready yet..see. I told you I can't do it in one breath! Aren't you going to cross my feet on top the head? No? Oh why not? B always does it. No? Shucks he's pulling me up into tithibasana again without the feet crossed. Sigh...
Mind pretty bank from here till Setu Bandhasana: Do I HAVE to do this asana? Oh look that new girl just did it. Makes it look so easy..I'm envious.. Is D looking? Nope? Ok will pass then..hehee..backbends next.
After my third backbend, looked at myself in the reflection of the glass: Oh wow. pretty nice UD I have there. Now if only I can stand up. Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale.......nope I'm a chicken. Where's the teacher? (At this point D shouted across the room, can you stand up on your own? And I told him to come over) OK..he's right there..stand up. Eh...I lost it again..no engagement of the legs. Whats this?? Whats this? Repeat 3 times of the above " I lost it again" since I totally lost my standing up. I don't know what happened to them? Its like I can't stand up without B around!
Paschimotanasana after the backbends: Arrrgghhhh..my back is killing me..
Handstands: I got to get the other foot off the wall..Its really hard..I'll bend one leg. Oh D's coming over with a block. Ok..he says to squeenze block. Oh cool I think I'm balancing..Oh cool I AM balancing! Hey I can balance! OK. Huh? Do it again you say? OK..oh wow I can TOTALLY handstand with a block wedged between my legs. I'm really good;) My body is aligned well but no arms strength? Hey thats not what B said, he says my arms are strong. But ok yes I did well. *BIG cheesy grin at teacher*.
So thats mysore for today. I'm really tired today, must have overdone the handstanding. I'm gonna have to do supta K on my own at home now in self practice cos I reckon D doesn't like tying people up in knots. If he doesn't help I don't think I will ever improve if I don't do it myself. Will update..
