Upward plank in March 3rd 2019. Third day is Purvottanasana or Reverse Plank, a great shoulderopener and a serious strengthener for hamstrings. The shoulder part do also make it a good pinchap

Eka Pada Koundinyasana 1 in April 24th 2020. Since I've already used the grasshopper and side crow, I bring my remaining twisted Arm balance, the Eka Pada Koundinyasana 1 or EPK1.

Sugarcane pose in March 5th 2019. Happy humpdayfunday! I have traditionally struggled with Ardha Chandra Chapasana or Sugarcanepose, and usually opted for Half Moon Pose in challenges when

Goddess pose in March 6th 2019. My last post for this humpday is Utkata Konasana or Goddess pose, love this variation with the wrist extension.
Goddess pose (Kalyasana)
Forearm Wheel in August 8th 2019. As for last day, main pose is way out of my league, but I'm getting more comfortable with regular Forearmwheel or Viparita Dandasana, so I bring one, although

Forearm stand in March 8th 2019. Yay, got another about ten second hold for my Feathered Peacock Pose or Pincha Mayurasana today, and without those annoying failed or very brief kick-ups. Ne

Half Lotus Squat in March 9th 2019. This one is a great test for legs, as you need strong legs to do a controlled one-legged squat. I were able to squat down from standing half lotus and keep

Dolphin pose in March 10th 2019. Dolphinpose or Ardha Pincha Mayurasana is a great preparation for pincha, helps with text neck and activates the thirdeye chakra. And it's also a good stretc

Reclined hero in March 11th 2019. Reclinedhero or Supta Virasana is an intensive stretch for quadriceps. Even superheroes need stressfreedays betimes.

Dwi Pada Koundinyasana in March 12th 2019. It's the first time I practice Dwi Pada Koundinyasana, although it's possible that I've been close to doing it when practicing Sidecrow or Parsva Bak

Hero Pose in March 17th 2019. This Heropose or Virasana variation is first time for me. Great activation for hard to reach muscles in the legs, and stronglegs goals means whole legs
Hero Pose (Virasana)
Bow Pose in March 18th 2019. Regular Upwardfacingdog or Urdhva Mukha Svanasana is one of my favorite Proneposes, but I gave it a try to walk my hands backwards a bit to attempt a high bow.
Bow Pose (Dhanurasana)
Bird of Paradise in March 19th 2019. I've had Bird of paradise pose or Svarga Dvijasana in another challenge too today, so I bring the other side here. This side is slightly harder for me, but
