Class# 295; AYC DC Mysore Class # 131: Another Eureka Moment.


Brought to you by Post-it Notes.
I did it - I dropped back.

No crash.
No drama.




Just a little assist from a simple post-it note.

and then you don't show up today for me to see it. i need a post it like that for parsva d. only it would say 'feet' or 'ass' and i would have to stick it to whomever is to the sides of me. i don't think alfia or kelly would mind.

alfia said...

I totally would not mind. Cover me with sticky notes, baby! :D

Congrats, Portside! I knew you could do it. In fact, I saw you do it, so there was no a hint of a doubt. Good job!

Word "braces". Hmmmm...

Congrats! I'm not sure if you know that dropbacks were my nemesis - it took me a year and a half to develop the courage, and for my body to figure out the standing-up mechanism!

And then sometimes, there's beauty in the simplicity.

Roar to you!

Do you get a new pair of shoes as a prize?

Hi Portside
Congratulations. you mean you put that post it on the wall at the floor so you could mentally process where the floor was when dropping? he he. i can just imagine my bringing a post it note to the shala and my teacher wondering about this new prop, now that i'm playing with straps and blocks. ha! but it could work.
hugs
Arturo

OOOH! Anna! A new pair of shoes would be fab - I hadn't thought about doing that, I did just see a great pair of Campers on sale.


And yes, Arturo. That is exactly why I put the post-it there. :) It also helped me to not make my drop back so tight, which I have a tendency to do. It couldn't hurt to try!

PS I'm with Anna, and totally vote for some new shoes... :P
