1st yoga video of 2012 ....

It's also my first walk of hands on kapo A of 2012, a first video on my new home shala on the balcony.

I am into my 5th month of learning second series stopping right before leg behind. Since the LH break, the last four practices has been zero pain on the right shoulder. It must be the heat here. What a joy to practice kapo without pain! I think the Venketish long hold on the kapo B has paid off. I have not done kapo A for two weeks, and today was my first walk, and it was so comfortable. I also remembered to relax chest and shoulder as I slowly hanging down before touching floor and tried really hard to hold on to the idea of spreading my toes, especially thinking about touching the floor with the baby toes, even just thinking about this idea helped. So back to kapo A walking hand business for at least twice a week, and the rest of the days still doing the long holds on kapo B.

I am going to keep this routine for another month. At the end of sixth month, I am going to add the leg behind, which will be in the intense heat of Mysore March. I am loving kapo so much at the moment, it is the highlight of my practice everyday, it is the bomb that gets me on the mat, I love its wasabi kick coming out of it.

And the home shala looks gorgeous on video, such vibrant color!
