Major Project last post

I learned so much about yoga during this semester because of my final project. I talked to numerous yoga instructors, yoga doers and watched so many helpful videos. Although I did not completely meet my end goal because I learned it would be almost impossible to do it in this short amount time because it is something that takes more than just a few weeks. Like I stated in my previous major project post, it takes awhile to build core muscles and awhile to be able to balance on your hands. If you have instagram, you should definitely consider following these people-- @kjyoga14, @jessicaolie,  and @the_southern_yogi
I learned so much from watching their videos and reading their posts and I definitely want to be able to do (some) of the poses they can do. This is definitely something I will continue to do and work on! So to end my final major project post, I will post my favorite pictures I got while doing it. Hope you guys enjoy!

Final Major Project

For my final week, I was able to finally hold my handstand (still with the help of a wall) but I could hold it a lot longer - 4-5 sec. (YAY! :)) It is still not my end goal, but yoga handstands, like I said before, takes a lot of time and patience to build your core muscles, it is not something that can happen overnight. This project taught me a lot and I am so glad I got to experience it and find something challenging but fun at the same time! Even though it was a little more difficult than originally planned.
I used YouTube this week to show some videos for my cool tool. (They aren't the greatest but it's a start)

Major Project

For my second week working on my handstand/headstand, I made some progress. Although it was not a ton, it was still made. Learning how to do a handstand takes time, practice, and patience. After watching a few VIDEOS on how to do so, I learned so much. This guy in the video gave me so many good pointers on how to get started and little tips about using my fingers and hands. After talking to my yoga instructor (in my other blog) like she said, I started using just my head for balance against the wall instead of just my legs. Using a cool tool review called PicMonkey, I created a picture of my progress, which is just using my head to balance against the wall instead of my legs. This was a little bit harder to do but after practicing for awhile, I could easily do it in a controlled manner.
