Part 2 of Inversions

This week has been fun and difficult.  Several of these poses really challenged and humbled me.  I know it sounds hokey, but I like to remind myself that yoga is about the journey, not the destination.  So, without further ado, here's this past weeks instagram #inversionsmakeyouhot challenges: 

Day 7: Bakasana to Tripod headstand

Day 8: Fallen Angel Pose

Day 9: Handstand Prep

Day 10: Pinchamyurasana (Forearm Stand)

Day 11: Urdhvapadmasana

Day 12: Firefly

Day 13: Eka Hasta Bhujasana (with a little extra panache)

Day 14: Forearm Stand with Eagle Leg variation

Day 15: One-Leg Bakasana

I am participating in a yoga challenge via Instagram this month.  The goal of the challenge is to work on improving inversions, the sponsors provide a different inversion challenge each day for you to accomplish.  If your familiar with Instagram and the concept of hashtags, you can view every participants inversion attempts through the aptly titled hashtag #inversionsmakeyouhot.  Otherwise, you will only be able to see my images through this blog:

Day 1: Handstand prep with support

Day 2: One-legged headstand

Day 3: Tripod Headstand

Day 4: Handstand Prep Kick-up

Day 5: Bhujapidasana

Day 6: Parsvabakasana

And that's week one; I'll post more images from week two soon!
