upavistha to supta. it makes sense.

upavistha konsana, 5 breaths. (1st part)
upavistha konasana, 5 breaths.  (upward facing angle pose..)
supta konasana, 5 breaths. (sleeping angle pose..)
supta konasana, balance for a breath/moment in time..
supta konasana, land quietly..


-----
about to do backbends... i hear jill-ji say: it's tuesday, inhale, exhale...
and i remembered that she told me about how in mysore, poses only get given on certain days and tuesday is one of those days. 
---
when i realized what was happening, i was already in and out of supta konasana and that was that.
----
doing upavistha to supta konasana in a mysore setting really allowed me to understand how these poses work together. how they counter act each other. why they are like this in the series.
-----
i'm amazed at how with every new pose, i find this practice more beautiful and well crafted. thanks guriji!! :)
