Today was one of those days when I hit the mat, melted into child's pose, and didn't make it much further. I love that I have learned to listen to my body's needs in that way. Luckily, I've been exploring a few poses already so I have some comments to share.
I enjoy starting in Tadasana with the arms overhead when I move into standing poses. Bringing the arms down seems to naturally ground my shoulder blades without any additional adjustments. It probably helps me ground overall, something I have been working on for some time now.
Unlike Laura, I have always tended toward a narrower stance in Trikonasana, but still not as narrow as Mr. Iyengar suggests. I liked it, the "dismount" felt softer. It was much easier to come out of the pose without having to focus on engaging my legs.
Still playing with the hand flat on the ground in both Trikonasana & Ardha Chandrasana ...more to come on that.
