Very small turnout at practice this morning. Just Sanskrit Scholar and myself. Sigh. I’m not sighing because it isn’t lovely to practice with Sanskrit Scholar. It’s just because this cultivating-Ashtangis-and-specifically-Mysore-practicing-Ashtangis is quite a project.

This morning I went to navasana then set off on the intermediate backbends. Why? Well, because I really need to work on the freaking backbends, and when I do the whole of primary there’s little left in the way of drive when I am doing my urdhva dhanurasanas. Which is what I need most to practice.

Cranky and Lax have been on YC‘s blog, offering backbending tips and tricks. Very helpful. For all the drama that goes on in the blogosphere at times, I must say that I’ve gotten lots of great information and many pep talks. Much appreciated.

And meanwhile, back at the office, someone just celebrated a year with the organization. With pie. Not a home-made one, though. And not even a good one. It seems to be pumpkin. I’m not amused. Good thing it wasn’t chocolate cake, though. I’ve had a huge hankering for chocolate cake lately, and there’s a good chance I would have had an enormous piece and pretty much ruined my day with caffeine/sugar high and subsequent crash and crankiness.

All I want to do lately is yoga.
