Building endurance, deciphering balance, learning to dance, and nursing my weird little double jointed thumb. While working on a transition between back balance (first below) and another balance, I went to grab the rope midair and my thumb flexed at the extra joint and pulled way back. ouch.
Otherwise, leaning slowly toward smooth, familiar, movement. Climbing and going from trick to trick is fine, but dancing between and even staying up in the air for 4-5 minutes at a time is still just a thought. I imagine it's possible, but effort eclipses ease and presence for now. In the meantime, at around 20 ft. off the ground mid-class, I paused and realized I was holding everything with my own two hands. Upside down, hair uncoiling slowly, sweat soaking in, body swaying, hot still metal air, bird view.
On the ease note, yoga has been especially sweet and good. Starting to really enjoy the flow of movement, and breath with less unnecessary tension. I keep laughing thinking of Rodney Yee on this point.. in class he asked us to move our leg.. we did.. he watched then said.. I asked you to move your leg, not your jaw. Direct action, simple.
