And my legs go behind my neck

On snowy Wednesday we had a new teacher helping out, a woman that I had not seen before.

She came to me in kurmasana and simply put my legs behind my neck, one first, then the next one. She did something in the rotation of the legs before she placed them that I had not felt before, nor can I describe. All I know is that it hurt but not in a freaking out way, and both my feet were crossed all the way by the end of it.

The photo comes from the amazing website of German teacher Arjuna.

She also adjusted me in Badha Konasana in a way I never felt  before. First she grabed my hips with her knees, grounding me, and then she pushed down my tights and helped me forward.  Wow! it opened.

I felt the pain rush trough my inner legs, but it was the good kind, I realize how much further I can go.

Getting a good adjustment feels so good.
