For anyone that's "following" this thread, I've made a new one now that clocks have changed so that anyone that needs to calculate their time zone stands a chance of making it. The difference is subtle, but still, figured it was worth the effort 🙂
Hope to see you soon!

Hey, I missed this thread before! Silly busy weeks with work, but indeed, Tigger and I are on a mission 🙂
If anyone fancies joining us for the Monday stretch session, details are here:

Regarding the original post: I personally have no fear of going upside down when I feel in control, but utterly freak out when I don't. I mean like, serious panic attack screaming digging my nails into anything nearby type stuff… Drew blood on my bf once when he randomly decided to pick me up high and let my head go slightly below my hips. Silly boy.
I feel pressure in my head very strongly when I'm upside down, and it's not to do with holding breath, though it is worse if I'm having to tense to hold the position (mild pressure if I'm lying relaxed, head-going-to-explode pressure if I'm trying to elbowstand). Perhaps this feeling is part of what triggers the panic.
And there's the disorientation of having the world the wrong way up https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif It doesn't look pretty, but you can always practice the CKR (and eventually gemini/scorpio) keeping your head tilted up a tiny bit, just to get to the point where you're more confident that you're secure. Lean back in CKR but keep your abs tense to curl your spine and keep your head just above horizontal. Nice workout for the stomach too, hehe.
Maybe you could try relaxing a bit in an inverted position by lying on your back close to the pole, then propping your legs and hips up against it (shoulder stand kind of thing). You'll get the head lower than body pressure, but without the disorientation of head tipped back.
…And I should practice what I preach! I also need to get my body used to this. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif

If not tomorrow then later in the week perhaps. 🙂

Super slow typing on bf’s phone… Have fun stretching then ladies, hehe.

Sorry Tigger, I definitely won’t be there in 15 mins time, but I have no idea if anyone else will be! If there isn’t anyone today then pick a time tomorrow and I’ll be there. How does that sound?
-
Hmm, I’ll be home at 8… But our clocks did change back an hour! How immensely complicated, lol. However, hope you enjoy hot yoga! Looking forward to hearing how it went.

@Sexygyrl – if you aren’t stretching in an hour’s time with Tigger then I will be home 3 hours from now… And in desperate need of a good stretch after two days of long car trips!
-
Yes, it’s usually 11am California time.
Sorry Tigger, I’m wrong about the clocks then! Turns out the trip home is taking longer than expected so I also won’t be able to make it until about an hour later. Perhaps if there’s a couple of you available at the original time exactly the same as last week, then you should do it then. Otherwise, if anyone’s about later, I’ll see you then.
Argh! Back to nice simple timing next week I hope 🙂 -
Hello everyone. I'm a few hundred miles from home at the moment, but pretty sure I'll be back in time for this…! The time will be the same, assuming everyone has now left Daylight Saving. 🙂

Quick tidy so you lot don't have to look at my messy flat… https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
See you soon 🙂
Yay Tigger, hope you make it!
Just a thought: quite a few people are still having problems with the bug in the latest version of flash player. Hope that's not too much of an issue today, eep.
