One of our other favorite sunny day activities (patio eating/drinking not included) is going to the park and playing around with yoga poses and sequences we don't normally practice during class. The park is also a safe environment to try out new things because the grass is soft and the area is big enough to not have to worry about knocking over the person next to you.
This month marks our three year anniversary as yoga practitioners. Sometimes it's hard to believe we could barely balance long enough on one leg or hold a lunge at the start of our practice. Three years of consistent practice eventually evolved into this...
full vashistasana...
occasional faceplanting almost mandatory before learning an arm balance. This was taken when we were learning how to hold koundinyasana. Grass is tasty---not really.
sundial pose- taken with an iphone that was propped onto a bag, set on timer, and had one of us running into the pose before the camera went off. Took only a thousand tries. We try to make mundane tasks sound adventurous...
And continues to evolve-- one faceplant at a time.
To celebrate our three year anniversary, we submitted the first photo to yogify,the iOS yoga app created by EA to take the yoga practice anywhere, just for kicks. Hopefully this falls under the category of "inspiring".
Details about the contest can be found here. Off to practice on a nice sunny day here! Until the next adventure!
