Puh, back in the middle of a stressful week. I will be so glad when my darling will be cured. It's hard to be responsible alone for a two-persons-household. My deepest respect to all working mothers who are raising children in addition to work. Now I've just finished my tasks for today - or let's say I've stopped because there would always be something else to do. Now I have a little time left for reading in my new book 'Yoga Mala' by Pattabhi Jois himself. Probably a shame that I got it not until now. I am curious.
Good morning practices yesterday and today. Today I came until Janu Sirsasana C. This is one of the poses I don't even have a clue about. How should this work? It is absolutely not possible to rotate the foot that way. And my hips usually aren't that stiff. Hm. I'm waiting for a small enlightenment concerning this pose. Are there any tricks or useful preparations? Perhaps the upcoming workshop will bring some light in the Janu Sirsasana C darkness.

Hi Bettina. Kino has a beginner section on janu C on her primary DVD. Just checked it out again for you. She comes into it with the knee very high. Not sure i can explain what i'm watching but see if this makes sense. sit in Dandasana bend your right knee drawing your foot up, heel to your bottom knee to your chest. move the foot up on to tiptoe then pivoting on the ball of the little toe rotate the hip out and down. It's all at the hip and not at the knee at all. Kino says you can skoot deeper into it by moving your bottom forward. As you go down your mind is in your hip, slightest twinge at your knee back off. Going to do a full review of kino's DVD this week.
Hi Grimmly,
thankyou very much for the detailed description. I will try it in the next practice. Probably it will take time, time, time ...
