No I am not turning into a cow with the vegetarism… 
Rather I finally managed to go into Cowface ( Gomukhasana- see pose ) one side by myself and one side with help from Bo. After that class, the next day my shoulders and biceps area was aching for two days.
Well, that ache was probably a good thing…. because for the first time in my entire yoga journey, I finally managed to bind in the Ardha Matsyendrasana ( see pose ) ! For a very long time, I cannot bind, for some reasons, my rotation of shoulders do not allow me to do the binding or reverse namaste ( painful wrists ) or any pose that requires some rotation of the shoulders.

It has been a week since I did any headstand. Now that my neck strain recovered from the left and right pain, the pain has crept down onto the middle of the back neck on the right side.
