I feel where it lives, now

flexagonOMG, what a handstand lesson. I was able to feel (as in, perceive) things that I've never been able to feel before on my own.
Things I need to practice by myself, next week when I am visiting the mothership and away from coaching:
* wall handstands, feeling like I'm tipped under (but this is actually straight), come off without losing the pelvis.
* kick up to that same place if possible (but at least be able to feel it, which matters more in the long term than actual "success").
* when doing ball presses, pay attention to where I'm LOOKING in order to not planche(!), and of course keep weight over the middle knuckles.
* get more confident in the sternum curl.
* do those horrible straddle leg-lift things, and candlesticks, and overhead stick-holding. (I know this is gibberish, sorry.)
Most stunning for today is that I did one or two really good spotted presses off the floor. They didn't feel heavy. I came down and said "that was weird!", and Pokemon said "That was correct. That was the opposite of weird! Do it again."
I am gonna get this, you know, barring injury. Don't know how long it will take, but I actually am.
