Down to one cushion on the mat, a fail, but almost held it,
"pelvis in space I tell ya, pelvis in space".

thanks your daily recording practice, I read your blog for a period time, I'm a yogi in Taiwan and your hard practice encourage me!!
Nice work. I can totally see where "head and chest through" (the arms) is what'll propel the return.
getting sooooo close...
the next step to work on when you nail these: http://www.youtube.com/user/pcwildlotus#p/a/u/2/SPYzedKNoy4
surprisingly this is not as hard as it looks to do...
also shows the view from the Pure studio in HK
Thanks for commenting Crimson, happy it helps. I'm the same, reading other peoples blogs helps me get on the mat some mornings when I find it hard to get motivated.
Hi Karen, think there a moment in the day 10 video where the head and chest come through nicely and it makes all the difference but it's the pelvis in space bit that I'm obsessed with at the moment, just to get you to the point where you can bring them through.
I can see how the whole tic tac thing can/should be almost effortless, just a matter of timing, using a little effort but in an efficient way, just a case of getting the physics right.
Thanks Stu, I consider it a noble failure, almost catch it but I wes getting pretty tired by then and needed to move on to finishing or I'd be late for work.
That's a thin cushion and soft too so my feet aren't really raised that much, makes me think it is doable for me from the mat.
So that's PURE HK, what a great place to practice. M. used to live high up in Kowloon, could stare out of the window for hours, miss that.
Your talking about the bit a minute into the video where he flips back into eka pada Koundinyasana ; )
Love his John Scot style jump to standing too, very very cool.
Yeah, I saw that on day 10. Not sure if it'll be of any help, but Sweeney talked about pressing the feet together and adjusting the closeness (or wideness) of knees to come to an individual's most-efficient setting for abs/back strength/flexibility. Essentially, press the feet together and widen/narrow the distance between the knees to find the right control of the sacrum. Food, perhaps, for thought.
Sounds interesting Karen, thanks for that, will try it tomorrow. Was hoping David would post part 3 today but nothing so far.
