Of Almost Plane Crashes and Backbend Surprises

My plane landed twice.  No, I am not kidding.  I was on the way to visit my GOD Children (read 'god' not grand I am not that old), and as the plane was about to touch down it took off again.  There was another plane on the runway obstructing the path.

This meant that we had to take off again, circle around Miami, say hello to Kino from the window, yet again, as we passed Miami Beach, and head to the runway. We landed safely the second time.  Not good for any anxiety issues I might have, which brings me to: back-bends.

To the Miami Control Tower:
Please get it together  :-)

A few weeks ago I was trying something with the edge of the bed and on Monday I saw myself doing it in reverse order, without even thinking.   Has it ever happened to you that you see your body take over and do a thing you did not mentally foresee? dangerous! Maybe but in this case I found that the body taking over actually taught me a different way to open the chest and something else to play with.  I tried it in this way:

My body took over and made me put the feet on the bed
instead of the hands, completely different feeling of opening

Instead of what I had originally planned to do.

Ayela dropped me back at Pure Yoga on Wednesday. I love her adjustments. She is one amazing teacher. She mentioned that she could feel the "anxiety" in my breath as I come back. Hm.

She suggested I pay more attention on all upward dogs as the back is opening, and see how I breathe easier when not that much is on the line.  Perhaps I should also try that as I am casually sitting on a chair and not about to land at an international airport.

Back Bend is a work in progress...

p.s.: Miami is hot!  no wonder people do not wear clothes here, or hardly anything.
