Sunday with Wombat
Working this weekend. I need the uninterrupted space of a weekend to immerse myself in an unfamiliar programming language and messy, unplanned data. Â My progress on this project has been so slow that I have to be especially kind to myself.
Still there are a few Sunday chores – a quick trip to the granola store adjacent the studio, laundry to hang on the lanai. Â I bought myself some sunflowers this morning in celebration of Sunday.
Practice this morning was nice. Although I’ve clung to primary through Janu A for a while, CL says it’s time to make a clean break for second. It’s good to have more energy for karandavasana and handstands. I’ve made this break before, but stuck some primary back in after the travel and inconsistent practice of late summer and early fall. My practice feels more solidly in second now. There little fear left in kapo, and I’m finding more strength in the legs. Â This week’s small revelation: gluing the legs together with the inner thighs. Â It’s pretty amazing energetically — the legs feel like magnets sticking together, like one energetic unit — until I start shaking so much that it falls apart. Â I found it in headstand but need to look for it in shalabhasana and mayurasana.
