shala tippitoing soon

I went to the shala today. I was a bit late; the cold weather requires more preparation. I got good adjustments. I only managed to get to Marichyasana A. I am trying out something I saw Green Giant do in his Urdva Danurasana practice before coming to standing. It involves tippitoing the feet, like if you're doing point in ballet, then walking the hands in, then resting the feet down. After the third time of doing that, one gets the hands so close to the feet, that the balance of weight is closer to the feet. In his case he is able to come up without difficulty. I think I may be able to get to that point of coming up soon. This is not a nelly post. The giant is really masculine, but the movement allows him to come up and it should do so for me. haha.
