Headstand & Shoulderstand
It was pretty funny when I turned around before class began Tuesday and saw Dr. Schultz in a head stand only because I was totally not expecting it. I hope to one day be able to do a head stand not up against a wall. Doing the shoulder stands and head stands in class were really fun. I loved that everyone in our class at least did the head stand once with or without help. I am not brave enough yet to do the head stand all by myself because I keep overthinking and analyzing. Kelsey kept telling me to stop thinking and just kick my legs up. During my yoga practice, I still haven't done the head stand at home because I do not think I can do it. Maybe I should just try though and see what happens. In addition, I feel too embarrassed to ask somebody at home to help put my legs up the wall, so that's another reason I have not practiced head stands. I did practice the shoulder stand at home though. In class, I was told to move my hips forward during the shoulder stand because my butt was too far back. When I did that, I toppled over...not my proudest moment. When I practiced the shoulder stand at home, I was not sure whether I was really moving my hips anymore forward than I was in class. I want to ask somebody to watch as I do the shoulder stand and correct me, but once again I am too self-conscious to ask. The shoulder stands and head stands are lots of fun though. They feel like great accomplishments when I do them.
