Kandasana is coming along nicely (see Tuesday's post), long way to go but I think I'm getting the feel for the motion, it almost feels like there's a rowing action to bringing the feet up and in. I'm beginning to feel how the legs are supposed to come around and down, there's a point in the video after I roll up where the knees start to drop ( see picture, annoyingly almost out of shot). Once I get the knees down I can see about straightening my back and sitting upright, should be as ramrod straight as padmasana, hard to believe this will be possible hands free.Best of all it's doing it's job in motivating me onto the mat, nice to know I've got it to work on half way through the practice. Practice was really nice yesterday and I almost bounced out of practice and down to my mat this morning.
In the video I'm approaching it first from Yoga nidrasana then from Baddha konasana (with the help of a zafu), I use the first in 2nd series and the later in Primary
...and a tutorial from Odie on how it should be done.

Such an odd looking pose! Awesome that you're trying it.
Odd, Kai? I guess how I'm attempting it in this picture, still very hunched and awkward but did you see the Iyengar pictures I posted earlier in the week, such a classic posture. It's working as extra motivation, be interesting what effect it has on other postures, all kinds of things happening down there.
