So I'm still a beginner in yoga - started doing it back in September.
It's a Sunday class, so we didn't meet on Christmas or New Years, then the yogi was sick last week, so it's been almost a month since the last class.
There's a particular pose that isn't difficult from a strength or balance standpoint that I've never been able to fully engage. It's the pavanamuktasana - you lie on you back bring your knees to your chest and then lock your arms across your shins. Before today, I've never been able to lock my hands on my elbows (or even come close to having my fingers touch my elbows).
Today - full engagement. Go figure. Must be because I've moved a bunch of that silly belly fat out of the way.
Disclaimer: I could not have spelled, yet alone pronounced, yet alone even have spoken the name of the pose - I had the yogi write it down for me. :happy:
