Body Aching

Yoga class was taxing yesterday.
As a result of challenging poses, I woke up with body aching this morning.
Sign of aging? Probably. Haha!

These are some of the poses I had to do yesterday:

It was meant to open up the chest and hip. I think it was way too ‘effective’ that after the session I felt my hip so opened that I couldn’t walk properly. Well, it looks easy from the pictures, the same thought occurred to me when instructor demonstrated it. Unfortunately, it took more than just physical coordination to initiate the post, but also mental strength to sustain it! Don’t believe it? Try it yourself (with proper alignment please), hah!

“Everything starts from somewhere” (quote from leng zai instructor), so pictures here shall serve as a motivation for me to practice more so that one day I will be able achieve ALL these… (I know, I know, someone would laugh at my ‘determination’, haha)
