Personal Practice Day 37

In Sanieh's class today, we began by twisting. Then we focused on arm/shoulder and core strength and stretched the hamstrings. Lots of uttanasana, utkatasana, and adho mukha svanasana. We twisted again. From Ardha Matsyendrasana I, lay hands down on the floor of the side you are twisting into, arms at chaturanga, then pull belly upward into a twisted bakasana. At full expression, the legs are extended, so hamstrings must previously stretched for this.

We had the opportunity to explore this posture a few times. I was happy to find that I could do this posture! It's all thanks to the prep work.
