I tried the same pushing the pelvis towards the mat (imaginary here, obviously) and stretching the whole length of the legs and it seemed to make the difference.
Soles to forehead is way off but it seems doable and backbends still aren't at my best so i figure i can take it a bit further as they come back.
Here it was a few days ago when I shot the new Bow sequence practice sheet.
Practice was similar to when I caught raja Kapotasana, first half of primary then the Vinyasa Krama Bow sequence plus i tried out some of the tips from this YJ article on Raja konasana etc, many thanks to HD for passing it on.
Here's the Garbha B video from this morning.
and a new project...
OK, I can hardly believe it's possible for me either. Never really thought about it seriously before but words like geometry, magical and grounding have piqued my interest.... nothing to do with my self doubt being scoffed at.
It comes into the Vinyasa Krama Seated sequence just before my beloved Badha konasana. It's also in the Triangle sequence.
...and besides I'm almost there. The picture above from one of the few times I've considered it having to shoot it for the VK practice sheets and hoping nobody would notice.
Plan is take Tim Miller's approach and practice it everyday after the parasaritas, basically, Samakonasana then the hanuman's, then samakonasana again before moving on.

Ouch, that one looks hard. Hm, that is Tim Miller's approach? after the prasaritas? every day? interesting, very interesting, will remember that for whenever energy may come back in full. You go G!
Lots of inside jokes Boodie ; )
Thanks Arkie, was quite pleased.
I know Claudia, I really can't see it, come around to thinking that perhaps anything is pretty much possible now....except this one.... kind of getting excited about it.
Ashtangi's don't have to worry about it, stuck up there at the end of fourth but in VK it's on page 84 and again on 159, been avoiding it too long. Cowboy up yogi.
I'm not sure if Tim has everyone doing it from early on see the comments on this post at boo die's http://boodiba3.blogspot.com/2011/11/i-know-how-i-made-myself-so-sore.html
So happy practice is coming back for your, you go too Claudia x
Grim: I think I enjoy making fun of yoga almost as much as I enjoy practicing it!
Indeed , asana certainly don't know how anyone can take jumping about on a rubber mat in our pants too seriously....though it has it's moments.
There ARE moments... you're right: discovery, rediscovery, ineptitude, hilarity...
Dear Grimmly
Gosh, I'm happy if I can still do lotus. So fabulous you could do that.
Cheers,
Arturo
