2014TBL Weekly Challenge, Week 1, Challenge #2
Pick something that you have struggled with in the past and give yourself a second chance, try it again and try to do it better this time. Focus on improvement not perfection.
So, there are some yoga poses that I always really struggle with, so I thought I'd try one of those for this challenge. I'm honestly not sure how I thought I would see any real improvement in these since I haven't been doing much yoga the last couple of months, but one can dream, right?
I tried Half Moon, one which I've never been able to really do without a block. Tried it without a block, that didn't go well...
Tried it with a block and ... a bit better ...
For about three seconds, anyway, but then ...
So, I think the real lesson here is, at least for me, yoga requires consistent practice. I've always had very poor balance. Doing yoga consistently had started to improve it, but since I hurt my back in July and haven't been consistent, those gains have slipped away.
I'm hopeful that I'll be able to get back to a consistent yoga practice very soon and see improvement in that again.
