Karandavasana Chasing the duck resumed. Day 6, First time back up.

I came back up !

So Day 6 of my Karandavasana week was postponed last week, due to injury on day 5. I had planned on starting it again tomorrow which would have been a full week in between, but my knee felt good during practice this morning so I just went for it.

Perhaps it was having a few days off or the little exercises I came up with the other day http://tinyurl.com/pwryor but I managed to come back up again first time and during Intermediate. OK there's the chin cheat going on (putting the chin on the mat to give some support) and I don't manage to get my arms up, oh and the 'dismount' is pretty lame but it still counts no? Just about? Sort of?

As I said this was during my normal practice thus the lack of clothes and lousy camera angle, I put it in black and white to soften it a little.

My knees felt fine afterwards but don't want to push it so wont do any more until tomorrow when I'll take the video from the side so I can see what's really going on.
