I watched Boodiba, Swenson, The Encinitas DVD, Gannon, and Helena Berg from the Swenson Addvanced A disc, all approach it slightly differently. here I'm trying Boodiba's step by step approach, with apologies for being such a poor student.
Then I got to thinking about MariD again. For a year or so I used one of the Swenson variations until one day there it was., fingertips and then a couple of months later the wrist. Need to find a variation that's close enough and yet comfortable and stable for the five breaths.
That said it's still king of the fishes week.

I think the main thing is to get both sit bones on the ground (once you have the legs in position & have swung the arm over the leg.)
ReplyDeleteAt least for me, balancing with one raised hip just was NOT cutting it.
You can try propping the raised hip for awhile with a folded towel. There was some blonde guy @ Rolf's who was really good at 3rd for the most part, but was still using a little assist here.
