Stretch Time

Flexibility does not come easily to me. In fact a year ago I am pretty sure that I could barely reach below my knees. It is something that I work at every single day.

I find the best time to stretch is after a hot shower or steam, your muscles are loose and it is much more comfortable to stretch however be careful not to overstretch (the heat gives you a false sense of flexibility).

Crow

Crow is always a work in progress for me, I can never seem to get my arms straight and stay in the pose without nearly falling on my face.

This was the first arm balance I somewhat successfully stuck.

The Dreaded Camel Pose

For whatever reason I find this pose to be the most uncomfortable pose in my entire practice. It seems to never get easier, my back never seems to become more flexible, and the entire time I'm in it I find myself counting down the breaths until I can release.

Maybe this one will come with time.

Mermaid Pose

Ear Pressure Pose - Karnapidasana

Proud of getting into this pose, still find it extremely uncomfortable.

Plow Pose

I love this pose to stretch out my back, nothing better at the end of practice.

Saturday Morning's Accomplishment

First time trying this pose, eight angle pose or astavakrasana. Safe to say my wrists are a little sore today

First Attempt At Acro Yoga

So after a beautiful day on the beach in Puerto Rico and one too many pina coladas we decided to give acro yoga a shot.
