It does make sense, and I'll try it.<br /><br />And when an election is held for 'Queen of the Intermediate Series', I'm voting for you!

I lean forward a little bit as I start the movement and once I'm past the danger zone (hipbone contact with floor), I rock back into place. Not sure if this makes sense, but it really helps me.<br /><br />And for what is worth, Parsva Dhanurasana is the one pose I would take out of Second Series. Yes, I'm weird like that.Vnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796354866116498246.post-37917099892753623812010-09-17T09:41:14.620-07:002010-09-17T09:41:14.620-07:00@ELP

Sometimes I think Guruji added some of these silly looking poses just to be a funny guy.<br /><br />And nah, it’s not bad to notice other people struggling and feel better about your own struggles. I choose to see this as 'commiseration'.

Use the abs to push over instead of any momentum from the legs or body. Does that make sense? <br /><br />My knees sometimes feel tweaky too! I can't figure out why. <br /><br />I used to think Laghu was hard for me because my weakness is in my legs, but recently I've seen some tough, young, strong fellow students struggling and it's kind of made me feel better!! Is that bad?Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09802261573015214574noreply@blogger.com
