Possibly the longest time I’ve abstained from yoga: 2 week and 3 days.

I had a short practice yesterday, all of standing (minus parivritta parshvakonasana coz the left hip still doesn’t want to fully flex-adduct), Primary just up to and including janu C, backbends and full closing. It was very good, the back wasn’t really complaining much and I felt strong but started to lose strength and stamina by the time janu C came along.

Janu C was unexpectedly good both in the approximation of the pose and how I felt in the pose. I’ve been wary of it since I had a boo-boo in the left knee while coming out of janu C early this year. I’m still wary of the pose so progress has been slow. Yesterday was the first time I’ve felt quite comfortable in janu C AND could square my hips and bring the bent knee to 45 degrees AND do a full forward bend. It was kinda like the full expression of the pose, which I thought would take me longer to achieve.

Other than that practice was pretty uneventful.
