I'm totally dying! ha.Why...LOL....omg to the wad. I'm totally dying! ha.<BR/><BR/>Why doesn't navasana get easier? That pose is just depressing. <BR/><BR/>Utthita is pure evil. Especially the bend down part, then look the opposite way after the leg goes to the side. Seriously? This is not normal behavior!<BR/><BR/>So...thanks for garbha suggestions (bad sanskrit speller)...this pose does not make sense. I don't get why I could roll by myself before but now that my arms get through, I'm like a turtle on it's back. Then, like Brian told me, if I *CAN* get to Kukkatasana (again, spelling) my legs slip down and I can't keep them up! HA! I love new poses but this one is a mystery. (p.s. adding several layers of lotion to the legs before class helps get the arms through...ahem...or so i've "heard"). I'm thinking of getting a spray bottle filled with baby oil. Is this like steriods in baseball?? Not legal?? Probably not good for the new mat, though.

Also, tough at...As Jeff would say: "It was fun."<BR/><BR/> Also, tough at times. New realizations doing it every day (including Evan's "extra special" Saturday Vinyasa III class thrown in the mix).<BR/> I've come to be more aware of the poses I am really starting to hate!<BR/><BR/>The top 3, in no particular order (including poses from Saturday's class):<BR/><BR/>- Navasana: still sucks...every damn time.<BR/><BR/>- Utthita Hasta Padangustasana: These just never seem to get better or easier...WTF?<BR/><BR/>- (from Sat's class): I don't know the Sanskrit for this one, but it is basically the Standing Splits. No matter how far I go in yoga, no matter how cool I think I might be doing some crazy pose in class, doing this one is truly humbling. 3 years, and I still can't get my leg up past 90 degrees....shit.<BR/><BR/> The challenge was fun: seeing noobs as well as veteran ashtangis practicing together (and failing on that last Uttpluthi as one) was pretty cool.BGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01897371430277838714noreply@blogger.com
