I was apprehensive about going today. My back was a little sore today, I think because I slept badly on it. I have a really soft bed, and so I think my back is a bit rounded when i sleep. Whatever it is, I never wake up feeling good in my back, always stiff and immobile. Yet whenever I go to sleep I feel great. Perhaps I should go back to sleeping on a hard surface like I used to when I was a kid. Lets see how it goes over the next few days, a decent ocean swim might stretch it out nicely.
Karla's last lesson today, and it was a very small class. I'll miss her as a teacher, she does great adjustments. Also, she is much faster in the Surya Namaskaras, so I don't feel like I'm stuck in Adho Mukha Svanasana for an eternity!!
Today was a Marichyasana breakthrough. In A I bound on both sides (normal) then in B I bound on my easier side (waahoooo!!!!) :) And Karla adjusted me into a bind on both sides in C as well. So of the 8 binds, I got 5 of them, that's more than half! Although D is still a few years off (well at least a year anyway), I think C on both sides could be possible if my left hip opens up a bit and I'm able to get my left foot into a comfortable lotus. I think there's an ankle flexibility issue there too from my years of running training. Certainly a bit more ankle flexibility will make Garbha Pindasana a bit easier.
