I am weak.
I used to dislike arm balances. My wrists used to be painful when I do arm balances and hence I never did quite get bakasana. I can’t balance long and seems to take up a lot of effort for me. Now I feel that I have grown stronger at the wrists ( maybe due to many handstand ) and shoulders such that I feel more in control when I do my arm balances.
Today I went for 2 classes ( to keep my mind off stuff… ). The Power 1 and Power 2 classes both by Hee Boon.
Yes, this is my 2 second peacock dance. 
Pincha Mayurasana where pincha is feather and mayura is peacock. So my feather of my peacock was up for 2 seconds… I have witness too! haha…
Finally a 2 second balance on my own. The feeling was light, quite unlike the rest of the times I was trying so hard. This time was just go up with one leg as high as possible, then lift the other leg with a tiny skip ( close to the wall of course… ).
Am I getting it? OMG, pincha before headstand balance…

My neck pain is back, yet again. Not due to yoga I think as after the last two lessons I had, I did not have the pain until the next day. Although I did do my very first successful standing split or Urdhva Prasarita Eka Padasana !!! ( * yey! ) Or at least I managed to balance and my head under the top arm.

This was the theme set by Bo in yesterday’s yoga class. I agree.
Sometimes receiving is not easy. Especially for me. I think I am a person who has a lot of pride and feel that I do not need people to give to me. If people give to me, I feel that I become weaker in a way which explains why people give to me as they think I do not have and need them to give me. It almost felt bad.
I love to give especially to family and friends whom I hold dear to me. In fact, sometimes I give too much, and rather suffer than not give.
Oh ya… The pain was definitely felt in the 2 classes.
On Friday, the class we had was the Yoga “Legs Splitting Bootcamp”. Holy cow… I had never done so many Hanumanasana s in 1 class!! PLus we had to go into it pretty fast as it was in a flow sequence.
