10,000 Vinyasas

I am still glowing from the other day…held my handstand longer than ever before! I am well aware, however, of how strange this must seem to those who don’t practice yoga in general, and advanced inversions in particular. It’s so encouraging, though, to continue to make progress, and of course, the practice itself is quite intense, addicting even. As a bonus, I’m learning more about adjusting people and helping them practice backbends and stretches. Once again, I feel lucky to be allowed to participate in this, since I notice that many people who are at least as accomplished as I am are not invited to take part. It is a rare thing, to be sure, and one that will probably not come again once it’s over, so I am motivated to get as much of it as I can while it lasts. (Writing these words makes me think that I should put off my teacher training for awhile…hmmmm). Well, thanks again to Ana, and of course Vladimir for his most effective teaching, and Barbara and Alejandro for their inspirational practice (I learn as much from watching them as I do from participating).
