10,000 Vinyasas

I took an Anusara workshop this weekend (ok, half a workshop), from the most estimable Charly Privert and afterwards he gave me a strategy to try and overcome my extensive balance problems (I suck at standing balance poses like standing big toe, tree, dancer, pretty much any you can think of). Essentially, my feet are flat (inner arches don’t really, um, arch), I need to properly align my feet forward and directly above my hips and develop my inner and outer calve muscles to support my feet. At least, I think that was the gist of it. Leave it to Anusara, the style which considers alignment and position above all, to bring me this lesson. There’s always something to work on in yoga (besides designing my first class).
