8/10/2013

If you complain about doing laundry, try living having a broken washer for a week before the new one arrives. You will be thrilled to do laundry again. Perks of buying an older house!

Having moved two months ago, my routines are finally settling back into something resembling reasonableness. I'm now practicing about an hour later than I used to, since I don't/can't go home over lunch to walk the dogs. So I'm trying to get to Tim's at 6:45 and finishing by 8:30 or so.

Practice recently has been wonderful. My hips and ankles have been speaking to me, so the magic of the hip rotational and forward folds of Primary have been greatly emphasized. For someone arbha baddha paschimo encapsulates the gist of Primary for me. I love that pose on a good day.

Garbha is back when I'm sweaty enough (with so much arm and leg hair, a large amount of sweat is necessary). Backbends are kicking ass - I'm coming up with my heels barely lifting at all, and the motion is more static and controlled overall.

Kukkutasana remains to be accomplished, however.
