Milestone?

I managed to bind Marichyasana D on the left side yesterday. Without help. Of course, that was only after multiple rounds of 'research' to open my hips. And the right side is holding out.

Of course, this morning I fell over and got stuck in garbha pindasana and has to be rescued.

Here's an artistic rendition, minus the grunting and sweating (1:27)

Somehow I thought Mari D would be more satisfying. Nope, still painful.
