honeybee mental lift

Honeybee Do received two adjustments while in downward dog because Teacher walked out and did not know Green Giant had given her one. Lucky girl. I got in relatively early to the shala, but had to move slowly in and out of asanas because my lower back was threatening to sue me. I was nice to it to calm it down. I'm becoming a right foot yogi, where everything on the right side is perfect, on the left side not so much. Green Giant in toreador pants got me within  25 millimiters (1 inch) of the floor in Pasarita Padotanasana C. (Can you tell I work in the design field?) I had already breathed 7 breaths and he adjusted for five more. If his leg was not there for support I would have tumbled. I had a mental conversation with Kai about whether what her teacher told her about avoiding splaying when coming up to standing was achievable. An influential in my shala this morning when he came up splayed the feet a little. Then when doing second and third coming-ups he righted himself so as to not splay. He was doing tick tocks as well. He walked the feet back to the hands while in UD at one point, something not adviced, but it was to get more lift and come up. So sometimes, one does what is necessary though what may not be perfect. Oops, have to go.
