Heh heh… today I went for 2 classes back to back! One of my yoga buddies suggested to that it is really good to go for one lighter class first followed by a tougher class. Since the lighter class will warm you up for the tougher class.
So I thought I give it a try!
Ok. This is one of those pesky pose that I always had problems with the binding. Somehow my short arms does not allow my hand to reach to hold the other hand. Today’s class was with an emphasis on opening and getting into more difficult poses such as this. Well, we were supposed to go into bound parivrtta parsvakonasana and then do a reverse standingĂ‚Â bird of paradise or reverse hands clasped in twisting Hasta Padangusthasana.
For me, I just want to get my bound parivrtta parsvakonasana right first and balance well in it. One tiny step at a time!

They do not mix.
Somehow when a holiday comes along, I never get to practice yoga. It has been 4 days since I went for any yoga class due to the Chinese New Year! This and the fact that a few of my favorite teachers are on holiday. Now the body is suffering fom the repercussion of having too much festive goodies, all the sinful goodies like pineapple tarts, prawn rolls, cookies ( almond, walnut, peanut… ), sweets and stuff… holy cow… too many to name!
What is the matter with me…?
Of all, I still cannot do headstand. In fact, I still fear headstand more than handstand!!!
Something is wrong with me? Help…. I cannot feel the stomach muscles at all when I am inverted. WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH ME? … ok … enough of the rants…
Here is a coooooool YouTube video on handstand and headstand… BE INSPIRED! As I say… ONE DAY!

Hmmm…
What do I mean?
Light of yoga is all the good things that yoga brings you.
Dark of yoga? The ugly side of yoga is the human nature that surfaces.
I am in a way blessed that I am not great at yoga. No jealousy, no “green eyed” by others, no talk behind my back.
Yes, when you are extremely good at yoga, even better that those who had already been practising for years, there are people who are insecure about themselves who will start bad mouthing you. For no reason and you never do anything to offend them. Some are even worst. They appear to be friendly with you with hugs and all, but behind your back, they talk bad about you. All these in the world of yoga right here.
