Recap

Wednesday:

 Great primary. Well actually I cant remember much cause its Friday. But it was no different than any other primary. My shoulders werent sore, so I was able to work the half vinyasas. The wheel greatly improved, loves it, thanks larugaaa. Garbha flowed beautifully. I did dolphin instead of headstand. And I incorporated the correct amount of vinyasa this time around. one before shoulder stand, one after sirsasana, and one after tolasana. It was tiring but I was glad I did it.

Thursday:

Tired, but still wanted to practice.

- core salutations x1
- warrior 1
- warrior 2
- bound pose
- intense side stretch
- half moon

Backbends sequence like tuesday. Worked on natarajasana with straps. king pigeon.

Friday:

ashtanga led this morning. this time I was exhausted. my shoulders ached and burned. my sides felt intense, especially during a downward dog. all downward dogs. we did only until navasana but I was glad for the half practice. my energy level was low. I did a wonderful wheel. loved it. we did headstand... and she made me do one. In a way I was ready; felt that my shoulder had gained some strength with all the work I did. I managed to balance a little bit. Definitely wasnt as easy as it was before.

later I did a vinyasa class. I LOVED this.

warmup: pushing our back up towards the ceiling, rounding, working to perfect the arms balancing postures. downward dog with bend elbows, that was hard work. downward dog stretching the calves, loved it too. then fire hydrant pose. That realllly worked my tight hips. Fired the sides of my hips in places I can't quite place. We also did the fire hydrant pose in a downward dog version. loves it.

 then we proceeded. Today it was gentle, bound triangle, which reallllly worked my legs. maybe doing it again tomorrow. a hunble warrior with a gomukasana arms. then halfmoon.

for standing poses it was the bound parsva konasana, the third series balancing lotus thingy, cobra, and a dropback. she made me do it! I can't believe it. I was shaking and felt intense going down but when I lifted my hands back it felt natural. I can't wait to do it again! Maybe against the wall.

My whole body is achy right now. loves it.
