So,
I have begun my "yoga journey".
Anyway.
I have been trying out some different yoga poses at home - and have been reading up about different armstands. So last night, I was home alone waiting for the man to get back from work and decided to attempt some armstands of my own:
I attempted the crow/crane/bakasana. After afew many attempts.... FINALLY -
I didn't even fall at all.
Note: instagram video is taken from yoga_girl - go follow her if you want some uber yogi inspiration or to see more of me her doing handstands and other awesome shizz. (And check out the retreats on her website). It is NOT me in that video - in case there was any confusion.
Who has some cool yoga vids or inspiration to share with me!?
Some other awesome yogis to follow on instagram: beachyogagirl, yogahippie and om_yogi or you can follow me - where I will no doubt start sharing all the ways I fall on my face or activate my camera using my eyelashes *Coming soon*
I have begun my "yoga journey".
Now bearing in mind, I am at the total beginner stages of this whole "practice-thing" but I have been really inspired lately (mainly by Lulu who recently became a yoga teacher). The husband surprised me last weekend with a 6 month subscription to the Bikram Yoga Centre in Wimbledon. I was so excited that on Monday morning, I rushed out of bed - MANY hours before the sun, got dressed, kitted and was rip-roaring-ready-to-go - only to realise that there is no Monday morning yoga class. Bearing in mind, that I am NOT a morning person. But don't worry, I curled back into bed (in my yoga kit) and bonded with my book, it's all cool.

(probably closer to 30 seconds in reality. Whatevs.)
I didn't even fall at all.
Not even a tiny little bit, at all.
And, Obviously, I got the whole thing on film.
THIS IS ME:
It may appear that my body is very different - but you know what they say -
when you PRACTICE YOGA - your WHOLE BODY CHANGES -
when you PRACTICE YOGA - your WHOLE BODY CHANGES -
EVEN YOUR FACE.
Also - I was on beach.
And there you have it.
NAMASTE.

Although, if you got us confused -
I wouldn't mind.
