Last day with the visiting teacher.
She was amazing, and because this is the first time I've actually practiced with a teacher more than 2 days I kind of feel attached. I guess I miss the feeling of having someone knowledgeable to tell you the tips and tricks of doing ashtanga, someone you can just ask instantly, "Should I be doing this? should I be doing that?"
What I learned today:
Oh wow I can finally do the vinyasa for the supta konasana! It took me a couple of tries, but the teacher was gentle, asking me to really pull my legs toward me and them using my core strength to control the landing forward and I DID IT I landed on my putty calves instead of heels!
We worked on Chakrasana as well and I'm still working on building the strength to lift myself up enough to allow my head to roll out, but I'm still stuck.
The wheel now feels soo much harder now that I learned to use my whole arms correctly. Urgh, but it's a welcoming distraction from worrying about my lower back.
Now that I'm back to my square self, I'm thinking of maybe enrolling to mysore while I'm here. Ramadhan is coming so the I have to be quick.
