Tight Skin Stretching
Last night for The Husband's birthday I indulged in some vegan chocolate cake and then proceeded to stay up way too late reading this book I'm totally into (The Kite Runner). I showed up to Mysore this morning to see that the teacher is back and surprised that there weren't very many people there. I got to meet TaraIsAGoddess from EZBoard today :) but I generally just had a mediocre at best practice. I was tired and out of shape from not practicing. My back is still a bit tweaked so I told Tim when I walked in that it wasn't healing so fast and I might not do all of the series. I ended up doing everything but lazily and without a lot of grace. During backbends he came over and had me use his ankles then took his hands over the tattoo and into my shoulders... at first I thought "Oh Shit" but then I realized it just didn't matter. That was probably the best backbend I had. He had me stand up from backbends by pressing on my hips and then putting his hands right under my hips which I had never done before and was surprised at how easy it was, almost effortless. Some of the poses laying on my back were not too comfortable, especially the closing sequence, so I moved through those quickly. That'll teach me to eat like crap the night before ;)
Happy Happy Solstice!
