3rd Primary, more critical.

This morning was my 3rd primary after a month or so off.

The first one back, with the Kino DVD, I was thinking great, haven't lost it. Thursday's I tried practicing it much more slowly with VK in mind, long slow breaths and again, I was happy with it, a couple of little things but nothing major. This morning I was much more critical. I felt I was waving about all over the place through standing and kept falling out of Utthita Parsvashita (was trying it without my glasses and couldn't focus on anything to keep me steady). I really enjoyed the Janu's (new favorites ) but irritated that I'd lost the full wrist bind in in Mari D, it's not in VK for some reason. Not having practiced Navasana everyday either made that a bit of a mess despite my new superbandhas, not so super after all perhaps.

Bhuja was scrappy though a nice dwi pada intro to Supta K. I kept falling over in Garbha Pindasana, probably because I was trying to keep my hands on top of my head, can't steer if I don't keep my hands crossed on my knees. Got confused through the supta P's again too, lift here, lower there?

Still, the breath was slow and steady and I enjoyed it over all. Did three drop backs, lately I'd only been doing one. Had a go at coming up but have lost that for now, just stopped bothering with it a few months back. It'll come back though, just timing and coordination now, no mental block to deal with.

Some nice Pranayama at the end and a little chanting of the yoga sutras and some meditation. OK, so I CHANTED, not in the least bit defensive about that. Well, maybe a little, but really getting into it, the whole sound/vibration thing, very cool in the bath too.
