Tuesday however, the Epsom salt practice day, I reached Pasasana after most of Primary and was in seriously sweaty Ashtangi territory. Sweaty as I was, I managed to stay in the noose, must have been deeper, lower into the twist somehow. Didn't manage to bind as far up the wrist as usual but was happy with it, though not with losing the excuse.
Before you say, I know, should be left side first. I'm doing it the old Swenson way. I changed for a while but seem to have slipped back into old habits.
Key for me is getting my shoulder as low down past the knee as possible and then wrapping my forearm around my leg and really pressing into the side of the leg while pushing my leg out against my arm, this seems to give me the stability to work into the bind.

I tried to leave a comment twice on youtube but it didn't seem to work. Nice tho~
hi Grimmly
wow, nice that your feet stay flat on the floor. i wander if living in Japan prepared you that, like maybe you had to sit a lot on the floor to have tea.
cheers,

I saw that Boodi, thanks for that, it's why I posted this version with both sides. I have comment moderation on Youtube whih is why they didn't show up right away.
Probably more the Squat Loo's in the stations rather than the romantic image of tea houses Arturo.
HAHAHAHA! Squatting loos are popping up all over the blog world! ;p Great if it gives a nice Pasasana like yours. ;p
