Back to the intermediate series

It seems that enough time has passed from the April 2006 slight burnout and the slow, very slow crawling back to full primary series to start building up the beginning of the intermediate again. Almost five months, not so very long. It is almost scary - I had planned to go for it really slowly, like one asana per month, maximum, and now I was told to do four first ones. Pasasana was allright (for my standards) already, and tried krouchasana on Sunday, so that was like only two more. I missed (forgot!) the bhekasana and did dhanurasana instead.

I guess that I was all prepped up for this "huge, monster-like extra effort" today, and the whole primary went quite lightly. I was sweating only very modestly. My hamstring on the right leg is tight, as usually. The shoulder-blade pulling is actually giving me a trigger-point-therapy-kind-of-massage on the little tight muscles between the shoulder blades. The bone itself is pressed against the muscles, and it feels - ah so torturing good. And it all works very well for the urdhva dhanurasana.
