Jumpback!!!!!!! Well,sort of..

Wheeeeeee!!!!!!! I did it..hahahha...I did some sort of jumpback today in mysore class!!! OK, its not exactly how I see the pros do it..but I kinda lfted up into lolasana and just went back!... I skipped the tolasana part though..I don't know if thats crim, but to me..its a jumpback and I'm sticking with it!!!

And I did it without really meaning to do it in the first place. I had meant to just lift the hips up and kinda bunny hop back, but the feet came up and I just swung back..it wasn't that hard...and I actually managed to do it a few times before getting stuck again. I can't for the lfe of me swing from tolasana to lolasana and then jumpback though, I just have no idea how thats done...YET.

I do find though that perhaps my abs are getting a little wee bit stronger, especially on the right side. I can feel it much much more..not much feeling on the left side though.

So I suppose my jumpback project is working! I've been diligently doing the lift up, swing, and bunny hop thing since J told me to keep doing it if I ever want to jumpback. I think it kinda works!

D also noticed that I was stronger today. I haven't practiced with him in a mysore class for 1.5 months! He said it must be all the crossing feet and lifting up attempts. He even tried to get me to jump into bakasana b today..which was a rather sorry sight I would think..I managed to get into some tuck handstand thing and fall on my arms for 1 second before collapsing. I specifically asked D to stand around just in case I fell..which I kinda did all 3 times I tried it.

Other than that, I lifted up out of ekapada today on the right...thats a first! I've never managed to lift up with the leg behnd my head..today it felt really comfy there, so I did it. The left side slipped though when I lifted up. AND I can stay there without hands nows..at least the sitting up part, both sides...

I'm feeling pretty darn good today. I just need to keep doing all the abs stuff I've been doing though, otherwise who knows where the bandhas will disappear to...
