I've really been neglecting my practice lately. Had to go down to Singapore for work earlier in the week, and only practiced yesterday on my own after almost 3 days of nothing..No wonder I'm stiff as a block today..I could barely grasp my fingers in pasasana..and that has not happened for a good while..
Good news is that I have recovered from my psoas injury, and can do utthita hasta padangustasana C again..(or maybe D ..I don't know..its the one where you release the hands and stand with both hands on hips and straight legs). I couldn't straighten my legs in both that and navasana for a few days cos I think I had a case of psoas tendonitis or something along those lines. Anyway my jump throughs sucked today because I think my psoas were still slightly weaker than normal..and I made quite a few thuds while jumping through..but I reckon its better than not being able to do it at all.
Also I had a good time crashing on my stomach jumping out of bhuja and supta k. Gosh when am i ever gonna be able to do that properly??? D just said to me...more bandhas and pull in the abs...sigh..easier said than done!
And worse still I just COULD not get up from laghu at all! it was quite easy last week and during practice at home, I made it up with no problems..but today it was all in vain..cos I absolutely felt stuck to the floor.I did stick a nice balance in my handstands today..stayed there a couple of breaths.
All in all..it was a pretty dismal kind of practice...but I feel pretty good anyhow..just getting through it. I suppose thats the price to pay for not practicing..regression. hmmm. I just suppose I have to put in a more consistent practice if I want to improve...I'm gonna aim for a 5 day week next week if possible...hope that things will return to normal soon enough..
