A muslim twenty something who fell in love with Ashtanga after 'retiring' from her multi-sport (triathlons/duathlons)days.

Turkmenistan
After one week of completely nothing, I started again my ashtanga. My body was STIFF without a week of yoga. I can't even do a plough pose. That was surprising.
It started out ok, 5 surya namaska a and 3 b. Don't think that was enough cause I wasn't sweating. The standing poses were fine but my oh my my jump throughs were HORRIBLE. Didn't have enough strength in me to lift off. My garbha went well, bhuja still sucks... still relying heavily on my forehead which makes me worry about my neck. Not strong enough to jump back from bakasana. Nothing moving there.
I'm working on opening my heart and upper back. Still sucks there. Finally managed to do a handstand against the wall.
