Yoga Play

i enjoyed my yoga practice today so much.

Did the core salutations to warm up. Then picked a home practice:

- side bend
- utrasana variation
- forward bend standing
- cat and cow variation
- one legged downward dog
- frog pose
- uttrasana variation

Then I worked on trying to do the one legged pigeon arm balance but bailed out after doing a chaturranga variation. I worked on doing the side bakasana, which was fun. Then moved on to navasana, and half moon, reverse half moon, warrior 3.

Then I moved to backbends - from sphinx pose to the chair backbend. Camel pose felt nicer... but still intense.
Then I worked on the handstand, forearm stand and headstand. For one moment I could feel my body balancing before I lost my nerve and let my feet land on the wall. But it felt light.

I end with some seated seated konasana to stretch out my hamstrings.

Great workout.
