John did not seem to mind so pashasana came and went, heels touching the floor which was nice, then krounchasana, no sign from John, so I kept going... Right after the Laghus I stopped for a second, I mean, really? but since nobody seemed to be paying attention to this good old visitor student, I just went for it, what did I have to loose after all?
With determination I prepared for kapotasana, wish somebody had taken a picture, I grabbed my toes from the air.
A bit in disbelief I breathed deeply and stayed there, for a whole 20 counts.
Not only that, but I also dropped back on my own and came back up. With elegance, just like the Mysore napper.
Now this blog is usually deep and serious but it seems not today.
Whoah, is all of this new!!! I love that you had the guts to just do ungiven asana whilst visiting another shala, that's hilarious. Sounds like your more than ready.
ReplyDeleteWow! See you are bendier than I am. I have never gotten a hold of my feet from the air in Kapo even with all my extra work.
ReplyDeleteSo funny the differences. John knows he's got me & I bound my viranchy A both sides myself so he said I could do B, but then he was telling me to go to back bending when I'd only done one side of B, which I pointed out. Then he waved me on. He was making SURE I didn't move on to the Viparitas, which I can do no problem.
I should've dropped in for a while BEFORE committing.
ReplyDeleteHi Helen, and Boodiba, actually I did not get the poses, it was my April 1st thing that I had going on this morning... should have clarified... silly me... sorry! but I WISH, and you know what, just the fact that you guys responded like this gives me plenty of room to visualize, maybe I will be getting the poses soon!! I SO HOPE!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh God! That is too funny!! I totally bought it :)
ReplyDeleteOhhh dear, I sooo wish! :-)
ReplyDeleteI suppose if magic like that had happened today you'd be signing up at Pure for sure (if you DO, make sure to mention me as coercer cause I'll get a month!!) :)
ReplyDeleteI would ALWAYS say that B, believe me, even if I sign down the line... but I am afraid this time I am back to the temple...
ReplyDeleteYa it makes sense. You live even further downtown than I do. But you should definitely come up whenever Eddie's is closed!
ReplyDeleteSaw this earlier, maybe just after you posted it, i was like 'way to go Claudia, you rebel' and then saw the bit with grabbing toes from the air and thought 'bloody hell' and then remembered the date. Was going to leave a smily face but thought that might give it away.
ReplyDeleteNicely done.
Thank you Grimmly, I was wondering if you would catch on the "grabbing the foot from the air" thing... :-)
ReplyDeleteBoodiba, I will.
Hey how was the steam room?? Office is closed Monday so I might just go steam my tail in there awhile after.
ReplyDeleteThe steam room is delicious, just perfect... enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI will!!! When I no longer feel the need to work on my 3rd & 4th, the way I WANT to, at home, I'll use it on weekends.
