Backbend/Drop Back progress June 2010

I feel the backbends are getting better in the sense that I am now able to bring the hands closer.

The other side of the coin though is that as the hands walk in the legs tend to get more bended.  I am trying to straighten and even use a trick from Richard Freeman on the second one (going on tip toes), but the whole thing is rather painful.  So I am giving it time, that is all it needs, time and practice, practice, practice

As per the drobacks, they are what they are, and I am quite content, exercising my santosha (contentment as per the yoga sutras)

Here is the May edition of the dropbacks, and the backbends is here. All previous are here
