Pelvis in space was a big thing for me a while backr,got it from Lydia on Being with yoga (blog). It's as if the pelvis is the only thing you have to worry/think about, get that right and everything else seems to come into lineGrimmlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00301656317399292135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6418358680523005996.post-48266480826615647682009-12-23T23:29:25.480+01:002009-12-23T23:29:25.480+01:00Thanks Liz!

And yeah, I'm kinda toying with the Etsy idea (I can lose hours on that site from all the weird and wonderful things on there!) ...but feel like I wanna make more pieces first and gain more experience with different materials before deciding what I wanna sell. (I've had one of my tweeps already interested in making an order for Caroline's necklace!) ;p<br /><br />Grimm - weight over toes in hasta padangusta+hastasana is what you're taught in most led classes from the get-go. Or at least in the led classes I've been to anyways... and in getting me to bunny-hop up to handstand, Teacher also says to hop the hips over shoulders (which makes the hop up much easier!). So that kinda helps me in the head, but I think my issue is finding that point of balance where everything lines up - from the toes to the legs, to the hips to the core etc. Plus this friggin' pelvic rotation doesn't help (well that's my excuse anyway!) But lemme think of the hip weight-shift a bit more the next time I get to do this again.

When you in hasta padangusthasana and pada hastasana shift your weight over to your toes and notice how that brings your hips further forward, try to fix that in your head and body, makes all the difference for going up into handstand.Grimmlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00301656317399292135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6418358680523005996.post-46447138124153188392009-12-23T15:46:29.018+01:002009-12-23T15:46:29.018+01:00Hi Skippetty, love the work, beautiful!, next st...Hi Skippetty, love the work, beautiful!, next step... selling it on the the e-bay of home made jewlery and art http://www.etsy.com/Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609779915009954933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6418358680523005996.post-20535509589668683962009-12-23T05:34:59.901+01:002009-12-23T05:34:59.901+01:00Great job on the beading!

It's so cool that your jewelry will be a part of your friend's wedding... she'll always see it when she looks back at photos! awww.<br /><br />I don't know what to suggest at a hen's night out, or whatever it's called. I would think just sitting around and talking would be a lot of fun (I don't drink either). I guess she probably doesn't want to gorge on chocolate either- no bride wants to be busting out of her dress on the day of the wedding!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11185066123168375209noreply@blogger.com
