Finishing the week off in a perfect way
Tonight for the first time in this studio I tried right hand side third row back right next to the mirror. It was good but I came across one challenge - when I came to Balancing Stick I wasnt used to being so far from the mirror and lost my balance within 2seconds on each side. Seeing as Regi saw that I missed the posture we got to do two sets (60min class we would only normally do one set) and announcing to the class we will do a second set cause of me hehe opppss :) but glad we did!
After feeling bet up and tired all week I finally felt the "want" of Camel again and it was amazing! I loved it. I read in my MC book for me to deepen my backbend (in camel) is to look at the wall, floor, my mat and then try find my toes - so I tried this tonight and found my mat and continued to lift my chest...gosh I love that pose!
Toe Stand - Padangustasana - for any new person this posture is impossible but once shown the correct stages to get into this it then becomes easy, which is why it is still a beginners posture. I am struggling to get the balance on either toe and bring up my palms into prayer. My right knee is sore as its always been (I think its an ongoing soreness from dislocating it twice in my life), so I am careful on that knee, but one day I shall get there.
Salabhasana - I love this pose now - new actual fave (after Camel). After learning to keep my movement to a minimum and bring both arms under when I lift my body by being on my toes, I find my arms and hands are better placed and I am able to get both legs up in a comfortable way. Yay :)
Well I have a 6am class tomorrow so bed time for me.
Until tomorrow x
