ice water and ocicats

I'm not 100% sure either. Maybe, if I'm being honest, the time when I lose the feeling of where my hips are is exactly when I stop focusing on it. But it's hard to tell. Certainly at times I've been thinking hard about a certain body part and still failing to feel where it is.

On a mild tangent, last night was discouraging. I held a handstand for about 20s in front of the teacher and he was like "Hmm, stable. But S-shaped." This teacher is so good at drilling technique things, but he's so low-key that I never walk out of his class feeling like I have the slightest bit of promise. ARGH. As a handbalancing teacher, do you get enthusiastic when your students do things right?
