Iyengar Drop back challenge Day 6

See Day 1 for an explanation of what the point of all this is.

Managed to keep it pretty much on the breath up to around seven or eight then lost a little control of the breath and lost the coordination. Lost count and ended up doing around seventeen, eighteen, rather than the fifteen I'd planned.

How to keep track of these for the 108. on the 108 sury's you could move a stone.

hi Grimmly
the mala beads one buys in temples have 108 beads. i asked the teacher what the numbers stand for. he said for the number of ailments that we humans can suffer from.

when you did your dropback only practice last week, was that the only asana you did during the session? i should try that. it may make me reach the floor by me-self sooner.

cheers,
Arturo

Hi Arturo. Yep, I was doing it as a stand alone evening practice. Just a little prep before hand and then straight in. Once you get the rhythm going it's not tiring so this week I'm adding it into my normal practice in the mornings. Good luck with it.
