I’m committed! I’ve been practicing my handstands for the last 4 months or so and told myself that I would be able to hold it without touching the wall by end of 2011. I know it’s “not suppose” to be about the end result or the goal, but hey! it surely helps motivate me. The difference I think is that “yoga” begins to happen when you don’t beat yourself up during the process… you’re learning, you’re discovering, you’re finding your own strength is limitless and you are more capable than you think, and mainly you’re having fun in between point A to point Z.
So when I saw this challenge posted on my friend Adrienne’s FB status, I jumped on it. I’m over joyous! Since I’ve been practicing my handstands over the course of the last 4 months, I can now invert without touching the wall (on most days). Some days it’s impossible because my wrist hurts or my shoulder hurts or I just ate too much junk. On those days, I come back to what is important. What matters is how I’m connected to my breath in and breath out, my inward gaze, and cheesy smile that probably would turn into a burst of laughter instead of whether I did a handstand or not.
Join me… a handstand a day. Are you up for this? And if you’re shaking your head ‘no’ and doubting your abilities, watch my video. Take one step at a time.
