muck_a_luckToday, I jumped back.
Being totally DVD taught for my yoga, I have been admonished to "jump back" in to chaturanga, but the mechanics of how that is done have not been explained in any of my DVDs. An online acquaintance who had private yoga tutorials (not jealous, not me) said that she found jumping back to be no problem, her instructor showed her how.
Well, wandering around the internet looking for a good example of someone doing Surya A, I found these two chicks doing their sun salutations (yes, yes, this is Surya B). I watched this, and their Surya A, several times. For some reason, I found the logic of their jumping back very easy to process. This morning, after abusing myself with 30 day shred, I did a couple of spontaneous sun salutations and tried jumping back, visualizing what these women did.
Wow. Not only did I land a jump back, but even with shred tired legs I nearly managed a real jump forward, too!
*does little excited bouncy office chair dance*
Also, in other news, I can now wear another pair of jeans! And they are actually roomy and nice in the hips and butt. But the waist is a squeeze. Hoping they will not be miserable at work today, but dammit, I want jeans to wear to move boxes and I'm wearing these! :D
