I consider the time away from my teacher to be both homework time and play time. I try stuff on my own my teacher would never allow in class... or would call me out LOUDLY if I did. That's o.k. with me because I know that I can test stuff out in my regular, home practice. Like that pose there. What is it? I'm not really sure. It's an extended leg headstand of some sort. I like it because it feels weird when I do it. It also feels very different inside my body than it looks in the picture. In my body, it feels like my thighs are both parallel to the floor and my shins are forming right angles to the thighs. Clearly, that's not really happening. But, so what?
When you have some time away from class, like next week, it might be good for you to try something on your own. And I mean try something in a way I never allow in class. There may be one pose that you always feel should be done a little differently than my instructions indicate. Give your own way a try this week. See what you find. Have someone take a picture of you and see if it looks like it feels. Not so you can criticize, just so you can add that information to your yoga database.
Have a nice week off. And make some time for yoga. You'll feel better. I promise.
