They're not related. Don't put yourself through it. Only do dropbacks with a teacher. Standing up from urdva d and doing dropbacks are really two different things. You need consistent practice with a teacher.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13149662.post-59465291447258891572007-11-11T20:42:00.000-05:002007-11-11T20:42:00.000-05:00It is getting slightly better, in very small incre...It is getting slightly better, in very small increments.
