Yoga at HealthPlus where we worked on this pose. Elusive, to say the least.

Sam Crish said...: Seriously? How close were you to doing that?
"Elusive" is an understatement.; October 2, 2008 at 2:25 PM
Sam Crish said...: I was just looking at this pose on youtube and, man, there are some weird people that do yoga.
Present company excluded of course.; October 2, 2008 at 2:30 PM
Melanie said...: i hopped into it for a nanosecond. 'hovering' never happened.

Yeah, there sure are. Thank goodness there aren't any weird people who lift weights...; October 2, 2008 at 2:50 PM
Chris said...: um, great job Mel! (Am I allowed to say that, since some people can't handle WTG?); October 3, 2008 at 10:03 AM
Sam Crish said...: I think you're missing the point.; October 3, 2008 at 10:06 AM
