CLUBASANA

Sayanasana, fifteen out of 60 on the scale of difficulty 

My elbows have way too much rugburn to believe this is only 15!  In any event, I love practicing this asana.  I think that the the inverted-backbend-chin-balance does something to my brain and makes me giddy.  I just recently found my balance in pincha, and I’m thinking that sayanasana might be manageable with practice—and room to fall! 

Class was backbends ending with kapotasana. 

Liz: “I didn’t even make this that hard of a backbend sequence”

Remember all our ab work and lifting of the hips? Well, do.  

Lay on back, exhale arch lower back, exhale lower, repeat repeat

Arch over block, holding for a time: hands at chest, head, and then out stretched
