This is my last Mysore class for a couple of weeks. I have morning commitments, my instructor will be away, blah, blah, blah.
The new warm-ups work very well. After torturing my foot with the golf ball (not quite so torturous anymore), then half-standing on the sandbag while leaning forward, then leg lifts on my back with the strap around my heel, my legs are more flexible and less strained. The 10 Sun Salutations A (holding plank for 5 breaths), and the 5 Sun Salutations B (no holding) are getting easier, although sweat still drips off me and onto the mat (ick!). In the toe-hold and palms-under-feet poses, I am not fighting fear as much (teeny tiny bit), for which I am grateful.
Having the headstand and handstand at the end is absolutely the most fun imaginable. The world would be a less pompous place if everyone did them and viewed their lives from that ridiculous angle.
