I do not know what to make of this practice that wasn't said before. It was good, although for a brief moment I felt too lazy to finish. I literally felt that this is it - I'm done with ashtanga - I'm tired of suffering from injuries and being scared to suffer more coming injuries. I felt it in the forward bends, in my inner right knee. I've read about it, but there's nothing you could do except to ease off the posture. The stiffness of my hamstring just right below my butt. Feel it there too. My rotator cuff, as always, the elusive heartbreaker. sometimes there, sometimes not, but for sure, will always be there.
Was more aware on the palms. Made sure they were at least fairly flat. It was hard work, suffered doing the push up, and it was harder than ever, to be consciously aware of pressing my palms flat at the same time lifting up. I tell myself all this work is for a good bhujapidasana.
I have also let go of my attachment to the finishing sequence. As I evolve along the ashtanga practice, my priorities on it changed. I was into mastering jumpback, now not so, into mastering headstand, will never be so, then now I'm all into the after effect of doing ashtanga... like running does to me.
