Three more poses

I am now practicing Krounchasana, Shalabhasana A and B, in addition to Pashasana.  John led me through the vinyasas and adjusted me, he touched my shoulders so I would relax them (will I ever learn?), and pointed my feet in the Shalabhasanas.

I will have to look at some videos for Krounchasana, as I understand flying in from the downward dog into the position where one leg is facing front and the other one is folded, but I am having trouble visualizing how will the extended leg fly into being right up in the air?

Picture from here, the yogi is Richard Freeman in Krounchasana.

The practice is changing dramatically and so is life for me.  So many changes are taking place sometimes I feel disoriented.  New poses bring in new insights and I trust they are coming to me right now to provide better understanding.

Also, I feel that the intermediate series being the nerve cleansing one, as I get deeper into it, will probably bring up “issues in the tissues” that will need to be inspected.  Hope it also gives me the deeper meaning and tools to work through whatever may “come out of those gates” in real life, meaning off the matt.  I could certainly use all the insight I can get these days.

Are you learning new things? going through changes these days?
