I... have... N-E-V-E-R had so... much... P-A-I-N in a yoga class...EVER! I had hoped my stiffness would dissipate as class went on and my body warmed up. It did start to and I had an awesome first set of balancing stick. Felt strong. Second set - lower back gave way and from then on I couldn't bend down. I tried to round down in Dandayamana - Bibhaktapada - Janushirasana (Standing Separate Leg Head to Knee Pose) and just stopped half way, not even. I honestly didn't know what to do... was it better to break form and get into the posture using my hands to support my back as I went down? Or was it better to just hang out where I could stand it and keep trying with my little steeple in place?
Anyway, I am still not able to bend down without assistance. It's hilarious to me actually. Oh well, I'm not assigning too much importance to it. Fine this is where I am today and I will work in those confines. We'll see where it takes me. Strangely back bending series was good - even cobra second set. Ummm... it's forward bending and flat back - whoa. Ok well voice lesson followed by late class followed by cleaning tonight. Cleaning the bathrooms on my hands and knees should be "interesting". I don't know why but this just makes me laugh.
