Another street Pakret in Laxmipouram....

I tag this to Supta Parsvasahit before Chakarasana.

I do back bending today with feet together and straight legs (knees still a bit bend), this seems to help my shoulders to open more, but it is a ch...

I honestly thought my legs were straight! The video told a different story:far from it! Ha!

Holding the UD for one minute then walk hands in, and stand up. Maybe I should walk hands in first, hold, then stand up, more challenging...

I decided to have fun with the headstand today on our huge balcony: doing it with non yoga clothes, shoes on. I thought I was holding for one minut...

Instead of sitting on me, H kept my knees hip width apart with his legs and pull my shoulders up with his hands. Although my feet are way too high ...

improve performance on Mysore streets

Today's Pincha hold was about 35 seconds long, still a long shot to the one minute mark. But it is more steady than the last one...

I decided to do a long hanging before dropping hands on the floor.... it turned out to be 5 seconds short of one minute... To me, the hanging helps...

It is easier to do side split without the mat...

This was our third team effort... slightly better. H brought my hands into the heels territory.

Aiming my knees to the armpits, and missed.... haha.

It hurts a bit when I push it a bit much...

H was practicing with J's help today....

It was my very first time to assist in back bending, luckily my friend Susan is an expert in back bending, so she was leading me, the blind. Notice...

H joined me in the home shala with J's help

I have not done this for nearly a year, it was nice to see it was still there for me, although not as good as a year ago, but it will get better.

I am sure many of us home practice folks have used this tricks... better than nothing.

I tied up my knees together for this, and it felt absolutely delicious on the lower back!

This pose has always been quite friendly to me, and always there for me.

When you don't feel like back bending, put a dress on, then you feel like it!

For the first time, I didn't feel completely drained coming out of it, I could actually take my time coming up.... love it! Ya, loving the kapo bitch!

Just came back from a live human body performance in the most primitive form, absolutely amazing. The best Friday evening in Mysore.

It's so hard to get the knees to touch...

What I like about this 4 poses is they allow me to breath so much better and relax into them...

It took us three times to make it work, not easy, but I am sure our team effort will get better as we do it more often.

I was planning to see if I can hold pincha for one minute today. but it was not meant to be. It took my six takes to do it, and the sixth one laste...

I did the Ashtanga drop back today, three nonstop drop back, then the final drop back three times with crossed arms on chest and the last one walki...

H assisted me and I actually had a brief moment of touching the heels! That was a year ago, and I have been on and off the kapotasana wagon since t...

I was no where near ready to do the Karanda, and H never assisted it before either. We are talking about the blind leading the blind here... it was...

Shoes in India last for a long time. There are shoe repair sheds every 50 steps along the streets. And it is real cheap to fix your sandales... jus...

H assisted me doing Bhekasana

I often do this one, cause it is kind of fun, kind of a prep for a future Karandavasa ...

I am working on long holds on Pincha. My first go turned out to be 30 seconds only, will build it to 1 minute next time

Doing my pincha on the balcony

This Bakasana B still needs to land on the arm pits

Pincha is my fav arm balance

I was learning the drop back tricks from my friend Susan at the Southern Star pool side in Mysore.

This pool is the major hot hang out spot for the yoga students coming to Mysore to do yoga...

I did this drop back at AJ's shala in Mysore.

1st drop back after we moved into our new penthouse apt in Mysore

It was the first time I could sit for five breaths with legs behind...

This exit is never easy for me.... still loads of work ahead

my Supta Kumasana, entry from DPS, I still can not do it from Kumasana
