I vaguely remembered walking in to touch my heel once but assumed it was in 2011, around the time of my old 108 dropbacks video I posted yesterday, turns out it was 2009.
2009, I couldn't even drop back then, just walked in to touch my heel in Urdhava Dhanurasana, ahhh the flexibility of youth I was only, what 46, back then.
Here's the old video

Makes me wonder if perhaps I've....missed the boat. I Don't seem to be anywhere near as flexible as I was back then.
Here's a picture from this morning, again walking in, miles off. What have I been doing for the last four years, see if I'd gone to Mysore.....

Dropping back was better though, this time dropping back from only one and a half steps from the wall.
Missed the boat? Perhaps not.

And here's the video, I always used to start my drop backs three steps from the wall this week it's been two as in the first of these. i the second one though it's one and a half steps, so close I'm having to walk down the wall. Peg, can you send me one of your blue bolsters?
This whole project is based on the idea of, 'What would it be like to be able to grab the heels in Chakra Bhandasana, settle in and just breathe, really breathe, like in kapo. Whether I reach my heels or not dropping back this deep and spending 25 long slow breaths there would perhaps be interesting enough on it's own.
Projects, Work in progress, Practice videos.... feels like old times.
