Firefly in January 3rd 2019. I have some photos of Firefly or Tittibhasana practice with similar posture from one year ago, but the main difference now is that I can hold it, instead of hopi

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.

Yogi Dandasana in January 15th 2019. This pose is also the first time for me. I could get my foot to the upper arm, but had a hard time keeping it there after getting the other hand off it. I

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.
