Now that I've completed my Intro 2 assessment, I can start working on the Junior 1 poses. I don't know these poses as well as I know my Intro poses, so I know fewer techniques for them. This is another reason I decided to change the format of my blog.
Today's pose is Urdhva Prasarita Eka Padasana - standing split. I learned this from Rebecca Lerner in Houston last year.
I was somewhat miffed that I didn't think of this one on my own. I've done Uttanasana with my back against the wall - why did I never think of doing UPEP with my back against the wall? Anyway, I decided to add a strap to the top leg, both to turn the leg in as well as lift it up. I'm pulling with the opposite arm to get the leg higher.
Happy Practicing!
Looking good.
