The hero's path is paved with miracles: Several things needed to happen for this scene to occur. I had to know about @mastersaumik; I had to eventually trust him enough to ask him for help with my Dad; he had to agree; my Dad had to co-operate 🙄 The timing of Master's post about Ryan was also remarkable. I was in Centrepoint when Master started training Ryan and that video is such a far cry from what I remember of his first sessions. It pushed me to give it a shot. Whether or not it "works" becomes less important than the fact that I tried.

Did you know that Instagram does not allow you to post multiple videos in the original format?

Just so happened that I had three backbend classes in two days and managed to touch chest to wall during @mastersaumik Spine and Traction class on Zoom And still the knees and heels are all over the place. #backbend #backbending #sgyoga #sgyogi #sgyoginis

I didn't fall off the grid. I was waiting to share

I didn't fall off the grid. I was waiting to share some good news with you. But it's been too long and the news wasn't bad to begin with. Just after Christmas, on the 29th, I managed to kickback from the floor. But the skill was camera shy and was not captured. Luckily my classmates witnessed it, otherwise who knows if it really happened?
I've been waiting ever since to replicate the skill… WITHOUT SUCCESS. Who knows why? The first time I did it, it was totally unexpected, but it felt fairly easy. I was using new method that I coach told me to try. Which was to work on my technique instead of relying on my "flexibility" which would not be sufficient to bring me over without props (layers).
On the same day, I managed to repeat it maybe once or twice. But I've had no luck since then. So bemusement turns into impatience and right about now, it's turning into murderous frustration.
Now to take deep breath, just to document that this is where I am, it is what it is (what is it even?), to suck it up, and carry on.

T’is the season to do more than just gymnastics, yoga and cali. I made my first wreath ever. Thanks to @gerikin for organising and @leaveroomformagic for the workshop. Also caught up with @aq_pigio and @altreality over drinks and baking.
