I arrived late - which was stressful but I tried to keep calm and just accept things. When I came in - thankfully the teacher allowed me in, she has a strict policy about coming late - I have to get started with one surya namaskara A and one surya B. I did a few seconds in Tadasana just because I needed to calm down. When I joined them they were at Prasarita Padottanasana and my legs weren't fully warmed up. But going into the seated asanas I was already sweating...
One note about Utthita Parsvasahitas is that the teacher has asked us point our raised leg straight at the toes and that has added the intensity and challenge to the pose. I am struggling to keep my arm bent. My balance was shaky. Sometimes I could feel cramps coming in. Also I noticed that I am more steady and stable doing the poses with my left leg raised. Does that mean I'm stronger on my left leg (raised leg) or my right leg (standing?)
I tried to channel the easily smooth flow of the jumpthroughs and jumpback but wasnt happening. the best thing about the seated asanas is that we did the Garbha Pindasana and Kukkutasana and of course (alhamdulillah) I nailed it. It has become easier - the vinyasa - and I am in love with it.
My neck still hurts so I opted for bridge instead of the wheel pose. For once I am glad we didnt do headstand.
