Today's Overall Feeling: weirdness
Got some good things going on this morning. I seem to be gaining great balance in my core. Or at least it feels that way today. I'm able to hold my headstand, unsupported by the wall, for almost 3 minutes (for today). So exhilarating. <-- hear my thrills. speaking to core strength, I was even able to hold a handstand for almost 1/2 a minute the other day. I did of course receive some assistance kicking up, but I'm secure with me so it's all good. :)
Today I'd like to talk about another pose that I find to be annoying. This one is a real killer but looks like it should not be: Utkatasana.
Annoying pose #2
In this pose you have to sit down as far as possible, be really stable on your feet, while your arms are in annoying pose #1, urdhva hastasana. The deal here is my legs, stomach, calves, butt, back, arms and face start to feel. Feel like they want to burst their way off my body, onto the floor in a bloody pile. This might seem rather dramatic to you, but really it's a good translation of my muscle speak. But I feel this and think. I bet somewhere in this world someone has never sat in a chair and this is what they do to emulate the action of sitting. And here I am having a mind meltdown because I'm to do this for a minute. Jess. Please.
I know as I keep doing these 'annoying' poses I will grow to love them, or at the very least, not mind them. Also I should probably change my tune and call them 'challenging' poses. but really the feeling I get right before I know I'm going to do it is annoyance, so let's go with that for now ;) I'm new at this! Give me time!
