Gabrielle,

Thanks so much for your kind reply!

I had not even thought about going for class or 2 and gauge the “damage”. 🙂
I am actually afraid of going until I know more about what to be wary of.

Being a guy, I always found it hard to check the ego at the door of the hot room and focus on just doing well and enough. Instead, I end up focusing on doing all and perfectly. When I struggle and fail (by not balancing properly, panting breath, over-stretch) it’s easy to become frustrated and disappointed.
When I practiced frequently, my biggest lesson (which was obviously only partially learned) was on being kind to myself. If I can’t do the posture perfectly or go as deep as I think I could/should, it’s fine… Tomorrow is another day, maybe then I will…

I will go in, go slow and proper. Hope to come back with interesting news.

BTW, the FAI areas are right in the front of the hip join, along the line drawn by the femur as it joins with the hip. I will be most curious about how it will feel during Awkward or Balancing Stick.

Thanks again!
Sol
