Does everything else suffer by focusing on the jump back? EG. Baddha Padmasana

I've thought about posting this for the last couple of weeks but didn't want to risk jinxing it. I've noticed that while I've been focusing on the jump back and this blog, everything else has just started coming together by itself. Marichiyasana C has become easy, D has become closer ( P.S. Just nailed my first Marichiyasana D couple of days after this post, left side only so far). Upavishta konasana has appeared from nowhere. Last week I was able to clasp my hands behind my back in Supta Kurmasana and I find I can get my foot behind my head and almost let go with it staying there. Back bends are stronger, though I still can't imagine being able to drop back (I'm thinking the subject of a sister blog next year).

Best of all this morning I was able to struggle into Baddha Padmasana. I was convinced this would be something I would never be able to manage, just didn't think I was built right for it (but then didn't I think that about Marichyasana C). I found a trick to it. Get into a really tight lotus, feet up higher than usual then reach around with the left arm and clasp left toe, then, and here's my trick/tip, slide your right arm between your back and left arm which enables you to work it down to your toe and clasp (might take a bit of tipping over to the left - see video on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHZOQAjzYWc
Apologies for no shirt on this one but couldn't do it with it on, think being hot and sweaty helps).

But what's all this about Baddha Padmasana doing in a Jump Back blog? Point is, focusing on the jump back doesn't mean everything else has to suffer, they'll come along nicely on their own. Also it goes to show that the little tips/tricks/suggestions can make the difference and that something you begin to think you'll never be able to do will just surprise you one day. Like the jump back.
