I was stunned when I saw this photo- is that really me? With that crazy extension?!

I spent hundreds of hours on a yoga mat to get my head in precisely that position- yes, despite what the photo shows, the head placement was the hardest for me. I struggled many times in this pose- shaky muscles, falling out of balance. I just kept at it, kept trying, kept believing it would improve.

Today is a day for gratitude. I’m thankful for how far I’ve come. I’m excited for where I will go.

Namaste.
