Lazy blogger...and even lazier practice

Hmmm...seems like I've disappeared off the face of the earth...by the amount of posts I've been making!

Its Chinese New Year and I've been spending more time eating and lazing around than doing yoga..Naturally my flexibility is shot to pieces and my skin is suffering as well...I've just discovered a brand new wrinkle by the side of my nose........sob sob sob..

Anyway, there hasn't been any classes during that time anyway..so I've not been attending mysore for TWO WEEKS!!!! While I was there this Thursday, D asked me what why was I SO STIFF???? well I just told him its because I 've not been practising... I could feel his disapproval while tying me up into Supta K..hahah


No new pose...and couldn't reach my heels in kapotasana either..even my twists are horrid...I actually had a hard time binding pasasana...I also wonder if this has to do with all the running I've been doing lately to prepare for my power run in April...just 10 k, but I reckon I can't make the triathlon yet in April ..so might as well do a 10 k first.. It could be the reaosn for my new found stiffness besides not doing enough practice..

Anyway..I've been doing my best to practice past few days to make up for things...hope to get back on track soon....

Eka Pada shirshasana

This is getting a little too intense for me....I got this last nite....very unexpected...I'd thought D would wait for me to gain at least some proficiency at bakasana B...

I can sit up with hands in namaste on the right side easily..bending forward the leg keeps slipping off..and D held it in place for me. Left side was not so pretty...I can get it back quite far down my back..but sitting up requires a huge amount of abdominal effort...so D stood behind and tried to straighten my back and keep the foot in place while I put my hands together..bending forward is terrible..the leg just keeps slipping and D held them for me.

There's not pain anywhere..and except for slippage I'm quite comfy there. I suppose if I put some effort into doing this pose more often, I could do it in about a month or 2...bakasana B though..is still a whole new different ballgame...sigh...

I was more than open last nite..especially in my back..I swear I felt open enough to walk my hands to my feet..I think its got to do with the fact that I am premenstrual...it makes me EXTREMELY flexible..hormones..;P
