Time to celebrate!
Two weeks of ashtanga. I'm stronger and have more flexibility. However, I'm progressing as fast as a turtle walking uphill. Every day, I see the others doing neat poses, and I wish I could do them, too. I have to remind myself to have patience. If I practice, I will improve and get stronger and able to do more things. If I get frustrated, I will give up.
My legs and body are preparing for Warrior 1, although I'm not actually doing the pose. The Warrior 1 pose I did for 6 months was not quite right. Now when I lunge, my feet are further apart and my groin is lower. The arch of the back foot rises, and the heel presses into the floor. My ankles complain. I try not to let my lips join them.
