Yoga-ish: March 2010

http://justtherightamountofkate.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Lots going on the past 2 weeks - trip home to see my folks and a baby shower, then a wedding in South Carolina last weekend. Busy! But no, it was just a basic human reaction - when you catch eyes with someone you smile! And get off on the right foot! Had a nice basic half primary tonight, J was putting on a community class at lulu and several peeps from the studio were there to support her! Monday, March 15, 2010. Bake Me a Bread Coffin. I've gained about 5 pounds purely from l...

Yoga-ish: Flippy exit

http://justtherightamountofkate.blogspot.com/2010/04/flippy-exit.html

Saturday, April 3, 2010. A few weeks ago, I had an introduction to the flippy headstand exit at another shala - lowering legs pike-style, then flipping yourself to chaturanga. Haven't been back there enough to practice it substantially and we don't do these exits in my usual studio. So this week J showed me a similar headstand exit, which is more of a "timber" type move (no pike - body straight) and I found it much easier and really fun actually. I was playing around with Urdhva Kukku A a bit (yes I'm a ...

Yoga-ish: December 2009

http://justtherightamountofkate.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

Wednesday, December 30, 2009. LOL, my overexuberant usage was too much for it.it threw sparks, the motor quit and we had to take it back. Right in the middle of making pizza dough, damn! We're still here." kind of way. Another comment on Maehle - "excess adipose tissue", lol. A few others have mentioned this and I think it is pretty funny.he says it several times! I don't have the resolve to diet in the name of asana. Period! I'll live with my adipose tissue, I don't think there's too much of it anyways.

Yoga-ish: May 2010

http://justtherightamountofkate.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

Monday, May 10, 2010. The one that didn't get away. Tittibasana B is here to stay. I can't think of a single other asana that came one day and never left again, but I guess this is the one for me. How come these difficult poses are so much easier once we are finally able to do the "full" expression? Perfectly straight and smooth? Out out damned wrinkle! And how much harder is Mari D or Yoganidrasana when your hands are flailing and fingers streetttttttching trying to get that connection? I went to my fir...

Yoga-ish: November 2009

http://justtherightamountofkate.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Sunday, November 29, 2009. Thumbs of Justice – Half Intermediate – Shoulder is GOOD! In joyous holiday news, based on today’s practice, my shoulder is now FINE :-). Saturday was a rest day. I got a massage from a dude who nearly made me scream/faint with his brutal thumbs. Sounds unpleasant but it was exactly what I needed. For the first time in maybe my entire life my traps are relaxed. Like completely relaxed. And boy did I earn it. At the end we did the Flying Elbow Drop. I didn’t expect to talk...

Yoga-ish: February 2010

http://justtherightamountofkate.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

Sunday, February 28, 2010. Today, with assistance, I bound Tittibhasana B for the first time.I hadn't been assisted into it before and the closest I'd come on my own was a fingertip brush. Boy that clasp makes a world of difference! Kapo was actually nice today, I got footpads alone with less discomfort than I've been feeling lately. The teacher assisted me for the first 5 breaths then left me and I held for another 4-5 on my own in the middle of the room. Saturday, February 27, 2010. We started out with...

Yoga-ish: September 2009

http://justtherightamountofkate.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

Wednesday, September 30, 2009. When I began yoga it was completely a physical workout. So it was natural to bring a level of achievement-oriented energy to it. Now that it has become something else for me, I am trying not to be so goal-oriented but it is difficult, I’m human! Because I can’t help it, and because they will be the focus of posts over the next few months, here are the main challenges I face in 2nd. Laghu Vajrasana – coming back up to kneeling. Bakasana – jumping into it. So if I am lucky, p...
