It was a packed class tonight, as the sun was still setting on the west side. I knew from the moment I relaxed my legs to either side of the mat that I was in for something special. All throughout practice, A kept talking about effort, practice, risk & how people don't succeed if they only focus on their shortcomings.

I am a bit ashamed of this, but my weakest pose in yoga practice is the headstand. For some reason, inverting brings all of my fears out. All at once. But tonight, for the first time ever, I inverted on my own. It was as ungraceful as could be & only lasted 5 seconds, but it was all me.

Distance: n/a
State of Mind: Working on being more fearless...
