Getting reaquainted

Posted on January 8th, 2007 under Ashtanga Diary

I’m glad I don’t make new year’s resolutions because I seriously suck at keeping any. I said I wanted to do more yoga practice in 2007 and it took me a whole week to get to my first yoga practice for 2007.

It’s now been probably close to a month since I did any proper practice. Naughty naughty, but then again, who’s going to sue me?

So practice wise, it was only half primary up to and including navasana with vinyasas between poses and not between sides. I took all forward bends at about 60% of what I can do. Everything I did today was just to ease myself back into a regular practice. I didn’t want to over-do anything, mostly my hamstrings, but also my strength and stamina.

Actually, I think I over-did the strength aspect because my muscles are shaking a little as I type.

Haven’t really lost anything, can still jump back with a touch-down and can still jump through but with a small amount of feet dragging. All 5 navasanas were there but the final lift and vinyasa was non-existent.

Injury-wise, both the back and left hip thing seems to be almost back to normal. The back started to tweak a little (or maybe it was my imagination) towards the end in backbends but otherwise it was a very pain-free practice.

I don’t even want to think about attemptin kurmasana, supta k or garba p right now. I’m happy just getting reaquainted with bandhas and breath.
