I haven't tried the leg extension yet, working on maintaining balance in the folded leg / holding toe part. I'm not sure my arms are long enough to extend the leg either!

GetOutTheDoor Feb 2021 10:04am, 4 Feb 2021 64 posts	Quote Pin GetOutTheDoor I did day 30 of breath today. I enjoyed it - slightly distracted at times - especially when the cat decided that catching lockdown plaits (resorted to as I knew I'ld be trying to sneak looks at the screen) was a great new game. Its a nice slow flow with some juicy bits. I agree though with others that if you don't want to do the non-vocal day 30, then that is fine.

Garfield Feb 2021 12:46pm, 4 Feb 2021 15,067 posts	Quote Pin Garfield Ouch becca, that's one of my least favourite poses at times. Supta virasana is another I rarely ever do...if I do it, I usually have a very anxious look on my face!

panad Feb 2021 2:48pm, 4 Feb 2021 2,252 posts	Quote Pin panad I like malasana - a position that i find i can get into easily and find very comfortable. I like the look of supta virsana...might have a play around later...
Garfield Feb 2021 3:30pm, 4 Feb 2021 15,069 posts	Quote Pin Garfield Yes, it's tough on tight quads. I used to be able to do it years ago when I didn't run but only cycled and swam. Malasana is one I should work on.
GetOutTheDoor Feb 2021 3:49pm, 4 Feb 2021 65 posts	Quote Pin GetOutTheDoor I'm another malasana fan, but ouch supta virsana - I definitely need blocks (blocks, cushions, crane) for that. For me that is definitely a pose which needs practise. Love the idea (but would find it unhelpful) of cat assisted puppy pose.
becca7 Feb 2021 4:04pm, 4 Feb 2021 8,244 posts	Quote Pin becca7 Supta virasana is one I can do but very gradually, I'm glad if I can stay in it longer than it takes me to get into it. Cat assisted puppy dog is not recommended - the claws dug into my back.
