it's warm now in the yoga tent, so without the many layers of clothes i wore during the cold months, i could observe the udhyana banda while doing the "wake up the bandas" routine during warmups. i learned them from David Williams. it involves expanding and contracting the bandas like a basketball, after an exhale. today i worked on the inversions asanas of VK, doing half of the poses in the series because there are many. Ramaswami writes that experts spend a half hour to up to an hour in headstands. heh. well, seeing that the sequence took an hour, i spent that long upside down. it felt like a lot of physical effort, although it's not that difficult.
breakfast report: thanks all for your suggestions; i will proceed to answer your comments. i only had some tea, half a cup of warm soy milk and four berries when i work up at 5:00. practice started at 6:00 and it was comfortable and focused. i had breakfast afterwards. picture of arhats at an ebony museum, like a council of sages, much like the cybershala.
