Perhaps because after almost three years the pain has finally become more manageable, I am now able to stay in the poses much longer. This has resulted in me actually enjoying them and on having the possibility to explore them.
I have began to zero in on the marichasanas, stoped the rush to get in the pose to look cool, and rather go easy into it, finding the right folds on the skin of my stomach, the perfect spot on the back of the arm to touch the knee so that it will be just enough to support the deep twist, and finally, the actual turning. I keep going and going towards the back and away, rotating, breathing in it.
When I take my time I find I can go much further. Taking my time makes it my own practice, lets me play with it, and brings a whole new level of it, where I enjoy it again.
It also helps that the time having falled back one hour we now have light as I approach the studio, and it brightens me even before I go in.
I tried really hard today, I jumped back every time and went slowly, really feeling the firing of the muscles, the tension and the releases. It all felt somewhat painful but delicious.
