Tuesday’s
class was indeed challenging but fun at the same time. The most challenging
part was learning how to do the headstand pose also referred to as Salamba
Sirsasana. The pose required complete and utter concentration, which was
somewhat hard for me seeing as though I was terrified. Although I was scared of
falling or hurting myself, I pushed through and attempted to do the pose. After
attempting to do the pose, I realized that it was not as nerve wrecking as I
thought. I just need to work on positioning my head in the correct way (so I
don’t hurt my neck) and maintaining balance. On another note, my favorite Yoga poses so far are the bridge
pose and downward facing dog mainly because it forces me to be more conscious when
it comes to controlling my breathing and stilling my mind in order to get the
full benefit of the practice.
I was more scared than I thought I would be to do that pose haha. Maybe just because that's such an unnatural position for the body to be in.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the pose looks so much harder than it is, well at least doing the headstand against the wall is not so hard. I'm sure it is much harder to do it without the support, but we'll get there!
ReplyDeleteYes you will!!
