Day 30 and Day 10

Day 30ish of the one month Led primary project with Sharath, ( actually it's 25 what with rest and moon days) should probably reflect on that in another post. Sunday I start the One month led primary and half of 23nd with Jois and Yogaworks, more on that later.

You can see I'm making this brief in case it doesn't post or blogger goes AWOL again.

and....

DAY 10 of the towards tic-tac with David Garrigues project

Context:  David's Viparīta Chakrāsana exercise

It's coming on, three videos stitched together below, first one dropping to the sofa, more controlled I think, though still not coming back up first time. Second one is to the floor....just to see. Drop was OK but completely missing something when trying to flip back up. Think I find what's missing in the third video. Dropping down to a couple of cushions here, so lower than the sofa. A light bulb moment as I remember 'pelvis in space' from the floating up to handstand work and Lydia's video on Being and Yoga. Focusing on the pelvis seems to help, forget about the feet just think about floating your pelvis up and THEN opening the chest and bringing the head through.

.....I think.

Very nice! Somehow the sofa makes it feel safer... at least from the maya perspective...

I envy you -in a good way- i wish I could do these as 10 day projects...

You go! it is looking really good

What are your objectives in doing 30 consecutive led classes Tony?

Surely, in Guruji's system, one or two a week are sufficient (to keep up stamina), intertwined with Mysore-style practices, so's you can take extra breaths in whatever area(s) you are working on, or just plain feel tight in.

Good Morning Claudia. At last a use for this godawful sofa that i haven't been able to get rid of. Can be tricky though, need to measure your distance so you end up landing in the centrally.
Really enjoying these now.

HI Steve. here's the post I decide to work on this

Basically the idea has been to to really tighten up my Primary and now my 2nd after all the fiddling around with it I've done, especially the vinyasa. Been learning the count too, that gets quite hypnotic focussing on that and hey, why not.
