Warrior2 no warm up. Stiff and sore today despite semi-rest day yesterday, over training again because of showcase so not doing the other crazy yoga challenge I’m involved in today, going to stretch and have bath instead.

Day 4 up dog: I had a nice time flowing this from down dog to plank/chaturanga to up dog after pole practice: it will always be a fav warm up or warm down.

Upright flower spin or inverted? Inverted I bring the free leg out to side and wide to slow spin, then get into inverted thigh hold and handstand/slide out.

Day 3: chaturanga – THIS IS NOT A BEGINNER EXERCISE! Good tutorial here http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-6631/How-to-Do-Chaturanga-the-Right-Way.html – doing it on knees is best if you are new to yoga.
I am looking at a giant jellyfish in the canal which is distracting me from the hideousness of holding this pose.

It took me ages and I trained by doing pole crunches, then pole crunching up into a tucked ball and tipping back a little further each session, but still tucked up, and coming down with control.
Also I now tip back and slide my hands down the pole towards my groin. This really helps me lean back and open out – and opening and dropping the legs out into a big V makes it much easier than tucking. But it’s the tuck training and tip backs in tuck that builds the core strength and shoulder engagement and stability.

Repost from other thread: day 1. Down dog in a rush.

A rushed down dog whilst small child is distracted inside with food and an iPad. I took my skirt off and put leggings on so I didn’t flash my knickers to everyone but still have my big belt and jewellery on so I look very silly.
