Better Jump Through
Jump through is a little better. Coming through with more control and barely brushing the mat but there's still contact and while I'm getting away with it on the eQua towel on just the Manduka I'm getting caught up a little. The difference is lots of uddiyana and crossing my right leg behind my left. Why that makes a difference I don't know.Looking at the video my feet seem to have drifted a long way from my backside. Will try and keep more compact through this mornings practice, which I'm avoiding due to discovering the Martini last night. Actually, discovering the Classic, the Modern and the Gibson Martini. This will be my first practice with a hangover.

can you try coming through with straight legs? you certainly come up high enough to do so. and if you have the strength to jump back you should have the strength to keep the legs up for the jumpthrough.
Ahhhh the toe breaker. Have never really tried it that seriously, slways gone for the crossed leg approach. Funny you mention it though, I was thinking about it this morning. Think I need it for the jump into eka pada. Bit intimidated by it but perhaps it's time to get over that, a New Year resolution perhaps. Any tips?
Arm straightness and shoulders-forwards-of-hands improving here :)
Jump into Eka Pada? One leg over the arm, one through. I would advise, practice the one-leg-forward jump throughs into poses like Krounchasana or, in Primary, Tiriang Mukha.
Thanks patrick. I get the one leg jump through practice, can do it with my right leg but that jump into Eka pada just feels different, but hey, "all is coming".
