But then todays practice was quite lame as my shoulder is still quite achy. I started off thinking I might just do standing, but then I felt ok so I kept going. The mind was terribly unfocused tho, lots of stopping and staring into space. And I stopped at kapotasana as my upper back was too stiff to open into the pose, and I know that it's too much on my lower back to do the pose that way. So I did a few urdhva danurasanas, tried to do shoulderstand, but that a definite no-go, so lay in viparati kirani for a while then did the final 3 postures. But there is something up with my knees at the moment. I haven't gone into urdhva padmasana for quite a while as there is a horrible crunching noise from my knees as I go in to it, so I just cross my legs for that sequence. Then the final 3 I don't always go into padmasana as I'm a bit fearful of stressing out the knees some more. The BF had knee surgery a year ago, and I really don't want to go down that route. So I'm practising ahimsa, and hoping it will all sort itself out.
Speaking of The BF, he's still not feeling well after his exorcist experience, and in the beginning I was being a good girlfriend, and nursing him. But now he's driving me a bit batty. I'm a horrible person I know, but I can be quite dismissive of man sickness. I really feel that women are so much stronger. Oh but I need to stop being a bitch. Ahimsa. AMntra for the next while methinks.
