Posted in ashtanga, ashtanga yoga on 02/22/2011 01:01 pm by karenDid an exercise Kino mentions on her DVD for learning karandavasana this morning. Went up into Baddha Hasta Sirsasana C, folded into lotus, curled my lotus in and lowered, finally lifting my head up and landing my knees at the very bottom. Time spent landed on arms: about .5 seconds. Then I fell on my butt.

whee!! Welcome back, Karen.
I’m very impressed that you’re working on Karanda by yourself. It’s a hard one to do without a teacher! Keep at it!

Dear Karen
This is how I practice Karandavasana, and I experience difficulty in lifting the neck up once the lotus bound feet are over the knees, as you did. Funny post title.
hugs

Hi Liz, Hi Arturo!
Liz, I like to think that if I have muscles and gravity, I can figure it out. We’ll see!
Arturo, I got it this morning. Will post about it because I’m pleased.
