(e:Paul) - not only did Erin say it was the next step, she demonstrated the Eka Pada Urdhva Dhanurasana (the one-legged upward/inverted bow). Those must be some really high-powered specs! I thought I was the blind one because I intentionally don't wear specs.
I am pretty relieved that you are not my yoga teacher, (e:metalpeter)! Last time you were insisting that do all the inversions with tea cups balanced.
LOL, but you are right though. I am not sure I could do it all the time. Maybe yesterday was a fluke... I am going to try and reach the next stage but can't tell when that will be. And (e:Paul) is always messing up gymnastics with yoga. He doesn't see the fine line... ;-)
Now related to that (e:tinypliny) now that you have that down... The next part is to get it mastered so you can all ways do it... Not not sure if they do this in Yoga... But I think the next step would be to start moving your hands in closer to your feet (acrobatics maybe.......Once they are in (from what I have seen) close enough both feet can come off the floor?
Isn't a back hand spring Gymnasitics?
(I went Monday... maybe tonight?)
Dammit... yoga was calling me last night and I shoulda just listened. Congrats on the wheel!
(e:Terry) says she said it. I must have not noticed because I didn't have my glasses on.
Oh I can totally do that. I wish she had said that was the next step.
The next step after that is back handspring!
