How to do Eka Pada Galavasana (Flying Pigeon/Crow Pose)

11 Jun

… at the friday farmer’s market, of course!

Step 1:  Find an isle.  Inconspicuously walk there to claim your space before there’s a mad rush of organic maniacs.

Step 2: Place your right ankle on your left knee, squat down, right knee to right elbow, right foot hooks to left arm, heart forward, palms flat.  Quietly begin to shift your torso forward and lift your left foot off the ground.

Step 3:  Focus!  The ground is hot.  Never mind if anyone is laughing at you.

Step 4: Lift.  Lift.  Lift.  and BREATHE.

Step 5:  Quietly and inconspicuously land your feet before your face hits that hot pavement.  Get up, wipe your hands, walk away, and sample the fresh blueberries. :)

Waiting and waiting and waiting for those pictures :)   Have a great weekend!

    you ROCK! That’s beautiful. I love the guy in the white shirt. I think in picture # 2 he’s asking himself “How does she do that?”
