    Thanks guys!

    I found this video on how to get into it funny: http://instagram.com/p/uPigiWyHqn/?modal=true

    I found that if I tried to get my hands to my face I was just rounding my shoulders and back and stretching my neck… when I actually pulled my arms and legs back to my face it wasn’t happening 😛

    Yes! That’s what I found too, I went from this isn’t so bad to hunchback! I’m gonna play around with it later today.

    I found I was putting my arms too far through, I keep it just around my elbows and then really contracted my whole body. If it didn’t tighten everything I always fell face first. lol I also gently lifted up on my legs with my hooked arms to anchor myself.

    Lol at the mental image of you falling face down in this pose 🙈 although…I’ll be doing the same soon…and seems like there was probably a lot of that happening! I got a good knee brace and feeling much better so gonna start trying to catch up soon! Excited >_

    I had to put my bottom foot under a drawer to stop it from coming up. Haha. I was so tight this morning. My jade suffered as well.

    Day 19! In the park across from my house. It’s a bunch of historic barns that they moved there when farmers in town wanted to tear them down to build more modern and functional barns. They make the perfect neighbors 🙂

    Day 19! We went hiking with the family, doggie too, and we stopped to play in the woods!

    The barn background is beautiful, I love barns, having grown up on a farm and all 💜

    Thanks! Looks great Veena! Wishing I checked out the video for the advanced version. I was out and about so I just quickly looked at beachyogagirls version so I could get back to helping my husband with yard work. Oh well. I’ll do that version another time, I think I could have done it. 🙂

    still trotting behind hehe here’s DAYS 8-14! ….days #10,11,14 : my god!! body was so uncooperative! i didnt think i would struggle so much with these poses haa… damn shoulders again! could NOT for the life of me straighten my legs in the elbow stand, and could barely hold the pose for a few seconds. I love that this challenge is really highlighting the particular areas which need work, as well as pleasantly surprising myself with a few poses =) =)
