My First Successful Yoga Inversion
I’m feeling a little deflated today. It’s probably just end of the week weariness and I’ll snap out of it as the afternoon rolls in. Hopefully at least. However, I made a big step during yoga last night and I felt kind of cool for a while after. I know it’s likely not a big deal to more experienced yogis, but I succeeded in doing my first inversion last night!
I switched up my class time and went to the 6:00pm one instead of the 4:30 class. Jane teaches at 6:00 and her class involved a lot of binds and twists and then she walked us through some inversions. A lot of people nailed headstand and handstand and crow. All of those baffle me and I figured I’d just half-ass my way through and hope one day I’ll be at that level. And then on the second try, I got into this pose! Word. I’m hoping this means headstand is not too far in my future.
Tonight we’re heading into the city to see Bassnectar. I dig a lot of his music and it should be a pretty good show. I don’t really know the other couple we’re going with that well, it’s one of the bf’s coworkers and the dude’s wife.
Other weekend plans are a soccer game, yoga, and some running. Nothing fancy. Hope everyone has a good weekend ahead!

have fun at the concert!! try to think of that to get out of the friday blahs
congrats on the yoga progress too
that’s awesome! binds are so hard for me, i have to remember to breathe and i swear just when the pose becomes uncomfortable is when they decide to actually start making you hold it haha! yeah i’m tired today and i have a lot to accomplish in the next few hours. this weekend will be relaxation time for sure since the weather is looking crap! aahhh! i love bassnectar! it comes onto my justice pandora radio station a ton! have a blast!!
Woot congrats! Binds are so hard, I usually half ass them a ton too
I just recently got into tripod too!
Way to go!!!! Best feeling to do something new we think we can’t. Last week, I got myself solo up into a supported (And semi-unsupported and then supported again) headstand. I’m working on balancing without the wall. Improvement feels good
That’s awesome! I still struggle with inversions, but had a semi successful crow moment last week and I was ecstatic! Hope you had a fun weekend and enjoyed the show!
