So Many Milestones: Yoga

Omg, omg, omg...  I did crow today!  I've had a lot of trouble targeting desensitizing my pressure points in my triceps and I was leery, pressing really slowly so I wouldn't collapse from a sudden sharp pain and it held.  I couldn't stabilize it very well because my wrists are flexible enough that I kept tipping too far forward, but I held it for a good few seconds before needing to touch down each time.  I'd like to try crane on my next good day since it's basically the same without stacking the feet.  Still, I could cry.  I needed a boost, however small and I went for it.  So glad I didn't just call it a rest day, that I went for it once my hip and knee eased up.  I was able to land everything today and I can close hands on the bound side angle pose too.  It was fingertips for a long time.  I'd love to work on getting my head to the floor on that airplane but my shoulder stretch and getting my face to my knee on standing splits happens now.  I can firmly hold my feet on that figure four that presses the hamstring too. I'm really struggling with strength but clearly something is working because my muscles are really supporting my stretches.

Yoga is life, people.  Don't give up on miracles.
