So the picture is just to give an idea of what I'm aiming at. If I managed to hold Sayasana for an inhale at most (previous post) then this was held for barely a gasp, a gaspette even, as you will see in the video. But it gives me hope, everything seems to go where it needs to go, just a case now of making more space so it feels more stable and comfortable. I have these great big feet, size 11 and they seem to want to push my thigh away and get in the way of my twist.
Just watched the video of this for the first time (tried to upload it quickly before rushing off to work, was supposed to be in B &W too). Funny it seemed like I was getting close to it when I was doing it, watching it back now it's awful and miles off. What do we get to get into this, one or two breaths? Not sixteen then. Bugger.
I can't keep blaming my feet, need to break it down element by element. Reminds me of Marichiyasana D, always seemed undoable and then it wasn't, this is somewhere between undoable and wasn't.
No I shouldn't be up, Boodiba suggested looking up to keep your balance while you bind around the back....i didn't stay in it long enough to get my drishti right.
Oh, did manage the Purna M jump back though, just about.

For me it's all about cranking the twist enough so that both sit bones are on the floor, Grim. I do that & then I bind the front hand, and ya, that crank of the head up somehow helps me retain the balance while I place that 2nd hand.
It used to bug Chris, my looking up. He'd yell at me that the driste wasn't right. But you see I DO get into the correct position once situated.
Hey I held Sayenasana for TWO FULL BREATHS yesterday. Not panting breaths either. But it reminded me of meditation. The moment you mentally exclaim, "Hey! I'm DOING it!!!", it's all over.
K I'm gonna actually watch the clip now.
Was thinking there must be something going on with sitbones, mine is way up in the air. Was thinking perhaps i need to bring the lotus one forward or back. Whatever, looking forward to working on this. It struck me that i was struggling like this slipping it into primary after the Mari's, in 3rd there's virtually no prep for it, your going in cold.
Better get back to my flute repad
