A near-perfect practice today, except for pain in the right shoulder blade, probably due to the lingering effects of the injury.
I can get my right arm up on leftward-trending triangle pose now, but still can't get it over the head.
Pranayama has settled into an established pattern: three count inhale, three count retention, eight count exhale, with only the briefest suspension -- not even one beat. It's fourteen beats altogether, which reminds me of Ravi Shankar's Raga Bhimpalasi, played in alacho tala, a 14-beat cycle.
So it's 14 beats, 28 breaths, elapsed time about 14 minutes. Altogether a symmetrical ritual exercise.
