Went to D's class today. Its one I try not to miss cos I'm forced to do the stuff I don't really like...inversions and arm balances. Strength is not my strong point, so I usually have to put in lots of concentration and focus to nail most of the poses.
Considering my recent psoas injury, I think I did pretty ok, sticking my balance in pincha and handstands for a decent couple of breaths. I even managed to lift the right leg off the floor in koundinyasana B, the splitzy thing which has always been a major pain for me. I couldn't lift the left side at all though, but then my left side has always been harder to do..just like in koundinyasana A, I had to keep working on the left side way after I could lift on the right side with no problems.
My back hasn't been behaving too well lately. I have this SI problem on the right which gets aggravated everytime D decides to sit on my knees for bhekasana. I might have to tell him to back off for a while. I didn't feel like doing kapotasana today although I know its part of the standard menu in this particular class that D teaches. I stayed in some supta virasana/matsyasana thingy hoping D will just leave me alone, but of course he came over and hoisted me up into a majorly backbend and put my hands on my feet. No heels...and I haven't attempted the heels since B left many months back. I reckon I'm not at the pose yet in the series, so no rush to go for it now..besides the time I did get my heels, I felt a major crunch in my lower spine, so I reckon I may have to work a while on opening my shoulders and hips a little more instead of taking everything in the lower back.
I signed my contract with the new studio...starts in December..I'd be teaching 30 classes a month for them part time. I'm gonna miss the Yogaworks training which the studio is fully sponsoring for me...and its starting next month. I can't do it cos I'm working 2.5 days a week at my proper job..and I really am not ready to quit and teach full time. Its a shame..but what can I do??
I'm gonna plan my classes for tomorrow after this post, I reckon I'd like to theme my class around backbending tomorrow..just for a change..
