"No Dreaming"

I typically spend around 3-5 minutes working on dropping back and coming up before Sharath or Saraswati make their way to my mat to put my hands around my quadriceps and tell me to straighten my legs...When I'm working on my dropbacks I'll come up and take a few breaths before dropping back down again - and sometimes I zone out a bit and sort of stare off into never never land - this happens pretty often because 1) I don't wear my contacts to practice so I can't see JACK ...., 2) by the time I'm at backbends I'm ultra worn out, and 3) dropping back and coming up over and over and over again isn't only exhausting, it is also a bit dizzying at times.

Today in the midst of my backbending 'ritual' I came up from a backbend and stood breathing at the top of my mat zoning off into the wall in front of me...I was chillin, minding my own bandhas, and I heard Sharath's voice; "No dreaming...........KRISTA, no dreaming!" Slightly startled I snapped out of my daze and looked over at Sharath with a giant smile on my face - and I then proceeded to do some more dropbacks before Sharath came over to me and preformed the wooo-haaa maneuver on me...So what is that? After he drops me back three times he takes my left hand to my knee, then my right...then moves my left to my quad, then my right...then proceeds to tell me to straighten my legs - and once I do he removes his hands from my waist and steps back away from me...this is topped off with a small gasp and smile when I lift up to standing position and ever so gingerly bring my body to the floor for forward bend. The wooo-haaa is followed by the squash, whereby Sharath lays on my back and pulls my flexed feet towards my face. As he's finishing the squash he always calls out for "one more."
