Well I have just been given the first 3 poses of the 2nd series and am really working with my backbends, can now stand up from UD quite comfortably and
standing dropback doesn't feel too far away, but I can't do supta kurmasana anymore ! Before I can easily grab mt hands and cross my feet in front of
my head, now I can't seem to do either at the same time !? Is this because I am doing too much backbending ? I am wondering if I should be trying to put
my legs behind my head ? ( crim I know )
lost pose !

I am glad to share this experience with you. Since I started 3rd series, 1st is getting harder and harder: supta kurmasana and marichyasana D in particular.
Are my arms getting shorter?
 . I can't imagine that it is
related to the number/intensity of backbends. I am trying really hard to keep in mind that our body goes through changes and that this is one of them. I also
try to remember one of Guruji's well known quotes: " Practice and all is coming". No such thing as a lost pose.
As for bringing your feet behind your head using (using your hands) in supta kurmasana ,Sharath has told me that if you are flexible enough you should in fact do it like that. Alex |
