Wide legged forward fold in March 22nd 2019. Yay for a third season! I bring Wideleggedforwardfold or Prasarita Padottanasana D, just like in previous seasons, and bring my previous entries.

Marichyasana in January 6th 2019. Marichyasana means Pose Dedicated to the Sage Marichi and the biggest challenge for me is the bind in which I need a strap.

Split in January 7th 2019. I go for Splits with an upward stretch, warmed up with pigeons for hips and forward folds for hamstrings.
Split (Hanumanasana)
Wheelpose in November 15th 2021. Today is kindness for the heart. The best for your heart is to limit stress and practice cardio, like running and biking. Cardio does not have to be intense, r

Corkscrew in September 6th 2018. First time I practice Corkscrew or Baddha Parsva Uttanasana (but definitely not the first shot), really tough to bind, thank Goddess for @infinitystrap :)

Noose Pose in January 18th 2019. Pasasana or Noose Pose is nigh impossible for me, need both loops in my Infinity Strap to reach. I'm happy if I can get to one loop by the end of this year.

Scorpion Handstand in January 21st 2019. Scorpion Handstand feels far away, but with a good wall, it's definitely doable for me. As the part of torso that is connected to the wall will slide
