Mysore 6 Sept 2007

Still lethargic..and it shows...Anyway I still managed to get through practice ok. Although I bombed a few vinyasas..and only got 1 leg through..hmm.

I could also not get a clear connection with the bandhas today..and now I am beginning to be aware that somedays I have a very clear connection with bandhas, and I usually feel much stronger and more solid, while on certain days like today, I just didn't feel much at all. I don't know why, but I speculate its because I have a bit of gas today (haha..a bit too much info maybe)..and it messed up my bandhas a little...I crashed on my stomach while jumping out of both bhuja and supta k today, those 2 jump backs arew pretty indicative of my level of bandha control on a given day..

I got dhanurasana today though..with the parsva thrown in. I was seriously not expecting anything new for a while..cos my bhekasana hasn't really improved much at all. So when D told me to do 1 more today..and to get into dhanurasana..I thought he was asking me to get into urdvha dhanurasana..and I got on my back to push up..and had to be told that its the bow..not upward bow...shucks...he must really think I know nuts about sanskrit...so anyhow..I don't particularly like this pose..I don't like the getting the legs together part..nor the rolling to the side thingy...

But well..I guess getting through the series is pretty much like getting through life..sometimes there are things that aren't easy or enjoyable to do..but still got to do it to get to the nicer stuff that you want to do...there really is a lot of parallels between life on the mat and real life...and I am happy to say that I'm realising some pretty important lessons here that I think would help me deal with the other stuff in my life..
