headstand progress
I have been sick for 3 days, technically fighting a cough for like 3 weeks, but I didn't Feel Bad until 3 days ago. I took Sun off as a rest day so I was antsy-in-the-pantsy about working out. I am not up to any high-energy workout, but I wanted to at least get in some headstand practice. I found a free video (https://www.doyogawithme.com/content/progressing-headstand) that I decided to do. It was actually a really awesome yoga session, great shoulder opener and honestly great all-over workout, at least in my condition tonight. It took 45 minutes to get to headstands and at first I wasn't really doing any better than the last time I tried. I wasn't able to use both legs to pull up and I couldn't find my balance. After a few tries, I just resumed the cool-down stretch with the instructor. Then I tried a few more and immediately was able to use both legs at once and found my balance for about a second or two! Definitely have lots of work still to stabilize and hold for longer, but I'm very pleased with the odd and sudden progress. Maybe I just needed the final poses in the video to open me more. No one here to take a picture or video, but who cares until I'm away free from the wall, right! Coming soon...
