August already.
In August I’ll practice second series again, every morning, except on Fridays. Fridays are for primary. I got stronger, I think it’s good to focus on back bending much more than I did by now. Once a week primary is enough.In the last months I altered primary and second series. Second series has a lot of forward bending asanas as well. Only the vinyasa of primary get neglected. I realized that I don’t progress when I repeat the vinyasa without adding strength training. Strength training can be done in an extra session. To repeat the same ineffective exercises again and again makes no sense.
As preparation for today I did the gravity training, that I bought at @yogabody. Hangman especially stretches my shoulders and upper body. Usually progress comes so slowly that I don’t realize it. Yet since I practice hangman three times a week in the evening I realize how easier back bending is.
What is hangman?
I use the video by Lucas, who leads me through the five minutes. At first the stretching pain seemed unbearable. This changed quickly. Nevertheless stamina is necessary to hold this pose. I’m willing to do a lot for a nice deep back bending. Stretching takes time. To go from one position to the next is avoiding the work.
Have a good start……
