Here we go, today I did my first headstand (which is technically an armstand as there should be almost no pressure on the head). Of course I did it with the help of Tanya (my teacher) and she circled her hands 10cm around my legs in the air so that I could balance and not fall down in case I'm not stable. I didn't do the headstand against the wall as I remember I once did at one of my hatha-yoga class. That time the teacher helped me enter the asana but it was feeling really scary and I was not confident in myself at all. Don't know whether it's the teacher or my own perception or the both, but with Tanya it was quite easy (yet I cannot stand without her spotting for me) and feeling nice.
I can do half of the primary series asanas I guess, yet all primary Marichyasanas are still difficult for me, especially B and D.
My back and spine are not flexible enough and sometimes I think I just got too much fat on my belly :) Well, not that I'm fat but I have a couple of odd samtimeters that would be good to get rid of. Tomorrow there is no class so I will have to practice at home on my own. That's challenging, as I am quite disorganized person. Downloaded primary series video by Sharath Jois, so he will be my teacher tomorrow :)
Also yesterday I was doing chakrasana vinyasa (backward rolling from seated position) and looks like I hurt some muscle near my left scapula. Hope there is nothing serious with it and it will be ok in a few days. Another issue I'm having is coccyx pain. I didn't have any trauma recently and didn't fall on it so not really sure why I feel pain. It doesn't hurt all the time, just when I'm applying pressure to hip and pelvis muscles. I read on the internet there might be a tumor pushing the coccyx and making it hurt but I really hope there is nothing like that. Tanya said maybe intensive yoga practice activated a lot of cleaning and detoxifying processes in my body and this pain appeared from salts deposited in the coccyx due to seated activity and unhealthy way of life, so now those salts are releasing and giving me discomfort. Let's see, if it doesn't go away I'll have to consult a doctor (which I really don't want to do).
