I've abused them again and again the past year or so..and they always come back and nip me in the butt.
Well anyway, I didn't update on this, but while jumping into eka pada shirshasana in a led class (my teacher actually told me to work at jumping straight into it!), I pretty much crashed into my left arm, jarred the wrist, and have been suffering some sort of tendinitis since then..about a month now.
So its been month of handicapped ashtanga lately. I tried to get back into the arm balances and jumpbacks after 2 weeks, but it felt too sore to handle it. anyhow I'm now left with stepping back and forth, and just pushing myself up and sitting down for the jumps.
Obviously, without the heat I get from vinyasa, i've been relatively stiff. Since I no longer go to D. no one is giving me new poses. J is too far away to see me consistently. Z teaches everyone en masse...primary and second. So thats the place I'm at progress wise.
I'm hoping that in another 2 weeks, I'd be better cos I'm planning to go down to visit J beginning of next year..

Hey.. I like your blog. That 'handstands for dancers' video is wild!!! How is your wrist doing? I also have a wrist problem.. injured in mayurasana last summer and still giving me problems :(
Hey Susananda!
thanks;) I sometimes pop over to read yours as well!
The wrists are a pain..my jumpbacks and arm balances are really suffering..has anything helped the wrists for you? modifications etc?
Yeah, anything jumping or arm balancing sucks at the moment. Sometimes it seems to get a little better for a while, then it's worse than ever.. I didn't do my 3rd series poses the last couple of days and am even considering taking a break from ashtanga :(
I'm going to see what happens after taxes are sorted.. want to try acupuncture if I can scrounge up the cash for a few sessions.
Hope we both get to do proper jumpbacks again...
Hi Susananda,
yep mine improves and then gets all out of whack again..
I've never thought about having acupuncture..maybe I've gotto do some research into that too;)
