Asana by asana

The way to do it is by no means to think about how many asanas are left! That drains out all energy. It's one by one.

Today was the second kick-ass practice all the way up to dhanurasana, which started by being lazy, I-can't-do-it-today-I'll-just-do-a-little-bit-and-then-stop practice and turned out to be very nice and calm and zen.

A lot of patience is needed now: still jumping back on the blocks (first I wrote: blogs!) with no visible progress, still coiling the shoulderblades and pushing those urdhva dhanurasanas, still trying to lower down well from the lower back in forward bends, and still trying to approach shoulder blades to the spine in twists. The assisted supta kurmasana was probably the best ever today, and the hamstring was only lightly tight... It is a power-building phase, teasing the body and insisting so that it will bend one day.

I was thinking today how lucky I am that after almost four years I have had no injuries!
