11.14.11 - Ashtanga

I reeeeaaaaalllllly didn't want to go to class this morning. Hardly slept the night before and didn't feel so hot. But I knew my ladies holiday was approaching (hello internet, here's my personal life) so that got me up and moving. Practice was slow and weak.
Noticing:

• My left big toe hurt so there wasn't a lot of rolling over it during the vinyasas. 
• My left shoulder was acting up again, so I also dropped to the floor for pretty much every chaturanga dandasana. 
• My balance was terrible in Utthita Hasta. 
• I held Ardha Baddha Padma Paschimottanasana on the left side for a good, long time. I worked on the ligaments on the outside of my left knee where I have the most tightness. That felt really good.
• I am struggling with getting out of Bhuja Pidasana. And then "shooting back" is just completely ludicrous... I think you have to be an alien to do that.
• Kurmasana was actually pretty good.
• Supta Kurmasana was okay. I even pushed up into Tittibhasana afterwards, but again, getting back into Bakasana is just ludicrous.
• Practiced my Padmasana. Making progress for sure, but my left foot doesn't come all the way into my hip crease, and it certainly isn't very comfortable!
