Mysore again today. Ankle still hurts, so modified a few ankle intensive stuff..mari B & D on the left..supta k (or rather left that out entirely).No new pose..and no new progress..still felt great after class though..did a couple of handtands..and D said they were good..but my balance is still bad..and I keep wobbling around..apparently the balance has a good deal to do with focus..and D kept asking me to look at a point on the floor and concentrate hard. He did say my alignment is good..and my body is nicely stacked..I just have to keep it more stable..
I was tempted to try this new tip I found on handstands..and later heard on an mp3 from O2 Yoga teacher Mimi Loureiro..who said to try to tap the back foot onto the top leg to help with balance..but its rather crim to do that in mysore..so I didn't. I might try it tomorrow at home.
D sat on my knees again for bhekasana..and its not fun to be pinned down on the floor in that position..however once he got me to relax the shoulders and he did the work of lifting my shoulders back..its quite comfy actually.
Didn't have any other memorable moments in class.although I noticed I've been able to slow my breath down quite a bit recently..and not zoom through as fast as I usually do. It makes the suryas much more relaxing..but I also seem to sweat less..hmm..I'm not sure if that is good or bad..
On another note..I went for an interview recently with a studio which is going to be newly set up in town. I was actually asked to take up a full time teaching job there..but I told the interviewer I just recently changed jobs..and would have to take a while to ease into being a full time teacher. There's also a great TTC offered..but I'll only have the details next week..and will post on that later..
