said in my best Barry Manilow impression....

I freakin stood up from a backbend... not once, not twice but four freakin' times... in my living room.. The Husband saw, The Nanny saw... and Tiffany is on her way over and maybe I'll have enough juice in me to do it for her...

Today was Friday which meant Yoga For Kids... since it was raining they had me in a room which had a heating vent overhead and the room got warm.... I put the kids through a backbending workout since I felt so good today... Ustrasana, Shalbasana A & B, Dhanurasana, Matsyasana, backbends... so when the kids were in Savasana I stood up and did some dropbacks... and they were nice. Usually when I do dropbacks I put my hands on my glutes or thighs and help push my weight forward... if I don't put my hands there I feel really vulnerable but today I put my hands in Namaste, looked behind me and very softly landed on the ground. I was so surprised I did it a few times.. then a few times more....

and I spent the afternoon sitting at my desk feeling this incredible opening in my back... and I realized how much I love the nerve sensations of second series....

so when I got home I thought... well I'm just gonna pull out the incline mat and try it... the first few times I fell on my back... I got frustrated and then I remembered seeing the girl with her feet splayed (Kiran read no further)... and I decided to try it and I got up... then I moved to just having my hands on the end of the mat and I did that... then I had The Husband go grab my mat... laid it down... with The Husband saying "move your feet in more... just do it you are there..." I stood up... then I had to prove I could do it again... then again....

now... to pull it off in class... manifest, manifest, manifest.
