Crow Pose

Good flow class today. I am consistently able to do the crow pose arm balance now! Had 3 opportunities to try it and was able to get into it and hold it for the entire length of time the teacher gave us! Yay! That feels so good when you can finally do something that you could not before! I still have plenty to work on. Need to work on standing splits and handstands. I don’t even come close to those right now.

Day 90: Flow

Today was a fun flow class. I tried some arm balances today and was able to actually do the beginning stages of them! Flow class moves rather quickly compared to other classes, so I think my arm muscles were not as tired as they might be in Ashtanga for example. It was definitely a good workout. The instructor also played a really great song for yoga class called, “Bruises” by Chairlift. The main chorus says, “I tried to do handstands for you…” which is so perfect for yoga class when you are “trying to do handstands”!

Day 74: Flow

This morning there was a workshop in the big yoga room so our class was squished into a smaller room. It reminded me of Bikram teacher training, where our mats were almost touching. Rapper Dude taught the class and he is so funny. He’s a little hard to understand, but there are enough students who know what they are doing so it’s easy to just follow along. Good workout.

Day 42: Flow

This Vinyasa class was different than others I’ve taken. The instructor seemed to “rap” the instructions to the beat of the music. Kinda funny. It was hard to understand what he was saying. The good news today was I finally could balance easily in Crow Pose. That one is usually hard for me but I went right into it and stayed until the instructor moved on! Wow! I hope I can do that again!
