OH YEAH, I DID IT

So I was practicing this weekend (Saturday 21JAN12), at my house, in my room (while Matty was cooking for our Oyster Roast we were attending later that afternoon)...such a good man :) So I was in the zone...some sun salutations and just letting it flow...nothing planned, just going where my body wanted...which lead me to conquer not one, not two, but 3 freakin' poses I have been working on...well not really working on like everyday, but working towards...if that makes sense! Wooooo hoooooo! The first one was Baddha Utthita Parsvakonasana or extended angle with the bind ON BOTH SIDES!!!!! I have always been able to do my left side, but my right is just not binding...IT DID!!! A little work and elbow grease and it came together!!! OMG I wish I could have seen the look on my face!!! Huge accomplishment for me! I was like saaaweet!!! Still am :)

Then, I kept trucking along...was chillin' in Warrior 3 which just flowed into Urdhva Prasarita Ekapadasana or standing split. So standing split is cool, great strecth..do it all the time with my hands on the ground for balance or attempt to grab my ankle with ONE hand...not today son...I just went for it without even thinking...it felt so natural...straight from War 3 to Standing Split no hands on the right leg...holy freakin' shit batman I was in standing split no hands and boy did I breath and enjoy this pose!!!! Whooooooooooooo. The planets were in alignment for me that day! Tried left side..a little more difficult, but I did it, just not as long as I did on the right side, but who cares at this point!! I did it!!! oh yeah baby!! I was sooo excited I ran into the kitchen and showed Matty!! lol

Finally the last one of the day...had no clue why this pose even came to me...i've only really done it maybe twice in a class...stephanie's class I'm sure of it...man I love her classes...anyways..so feeling frisky and bound worthy I wanted to test my limits a little..you know push the edge. That one last grrrr before savasana. So I took Baddha Utthita Parsvakonasana to the next step...I didn't even know the name of this next pose until today when I googled it...it's the bird of paradise pose or Svarga Dvidasana! BAM! Did it! Fuck yeah!!! Not quite all the way straight, but I got up in the pose, and I was able to bind on both sides, what what!!!!?!?!!! SO EXCITED!! AND SO EXCITED TO TELL KAS AND MY FELLOW YOGI'S...so now I'm creating my next class from this sequence...with Svarga Dvidasana as the pinnacle pose....oh yeah.
