Had a really cool week of yoga breakthroughs. Sunday, I taught a yoga class at Musecon and at the end of class, I went into my very first Supta Virasana (Reclining Hero Pose). Never thought I’d be able to do this because that pose typically hurts the top of my feet and my butt doesn’t really sit on the floor. Granted, I probably did it wrong, but it felt nice.
Wednesday, I did my first ever Pincha Mayurasana (Forearm Balance). OK, forearm balance is a challenge. Not going to lie. The prep for it is super challenging. BUT I did it, with some encouragement from the apprentice. How surprised was I when I floated up there?
Then yesterday, I got to take a workshop with Kathryn Budig, where I did my first ever Parivrtta Surya Yantrasana (Compass Pose). (How funny that the article highlighting this is written by her!). It was awesome!!!! I also did a variation of Visvamitrasana, and that was pretty sweet. 🙂
So, needless to say, I’m pretty tired today. So, you get a short and sweet entry. 🙂
Night!
Congrats on your new poses. I am starting back up on my yoga next week after our mini vacation cannot wait I have missed it but I have been addicted to cardio lately.
I like low impact cardio, like the bike or brisk walking. I get PISSED when I have to jump! So excited that you’re starting yoga again. 😀
Hey! I am so jealous you can do those poses. You look beautiful!!!
I used to do Yoga all the time and stopped. I shouldn’t have. I have scoliosis and I really think it helped my back!
You’re so sweet, Jamie! 🙂 And you can always get back into yoga; it’s never too late.
