Led primary

I went to a led primary series class yesterday. Haven't been to one in ages. It was alright, except that I was really not used to following the teacher, C's count. Thats the difference between mysore and led. Once you get used to following your own breath, its just not fun anymore to have to wait for instructions.

Nothing very interesting happened, except that I got my feet binded in Supta K with hands binded, but my head had to rest on my feet instead of behind the feet. Like I said my torso is too long to curl under, so unless I get it behind my head, I'm always ending up with the feet too close to my head to cross in front.

I've been consistently getting into eka pada shirshasana lately, at least right side with minimal fuss. I can sit pretty comfortably with hands in namaste in front. I'm waiting for the left side to get loose enough for me to try dwi pada, cos at the moment the left side is still exerting a lot of pressure on my neck and threatening to slip off but I feel it shouldn't take that long cos my hips have been really loosening up. I think the most helpful thing has been getting comfortable in tarasana with the feet in front of my head, sorta like a loose baddha konasana. Thats helped me immensely with foot behind head.

On the jumpbacks front, there has been not much progress. My lifts are getting a little easier, but its still not helping in swinging back into chatturanga. I end up hitting the floor all the time and then having to hop back from there. But I guess its just a lot of practice..and I think I will one day be able to do it.

I have an interview with a new studio afterwards to demo some teaching and also do some asanas for the interviewer. I'm gonna warm up after this to make sure I can get into stuff without heat afterwards. We'll see how that goes.
