How many people here are yoga practitioners? I am by far the biggest person in my yoga class. I weigh 230 lbs and lets just say Im pretty top heavy (two sports bras for the win!) Despite being the biggest, I am not the least flexible. That distinction belongs to the two extremely fit male runners in my class, and though they have calves like greek gods, they couldnt cross their legs if they were told to do so at gunpoint. . However, Im still big and despite being pretty good at a lot of poses, I still amaze myself some days, especially when it comes to balance. Tonight I accomplished a pose called Half Moon (Ardha Chandrasana). Its not the most difficult, exactly, but to do so without a block to help and without wobbling is a pretty good accomplishment. Usually I use a block because I cant touch the ground and get my leg straight like the picture, but tonight I thought what the hell and also the blocks were on the other side of the room and honestly I was feeling too lazy to go get them. So I tried it. . And it happened so easily and so effortlessly I was sure I was doing it wrong. It FELT right though. I felt strong and like I said, effortless. My instructor quietly congratulated me as she walked by and it was awesome. I was over the (half) moon!* . . *See what I did right there? Word playing like a real writer.
