Day 2 of 30 Advanced Flow

Alright, 1/15 of the way home! Day 2 was solid, nothing too much to complain about. A nice solid flow day that still contained one too many split squats for my comfortability. It was a packed house today for this class and I could barely find a space, but I enough room in the end to maneuver my way around the mat. With the moon approaching some kind full moon status, our teacher decided to do some moon salutations which is more or less broken up in this diagram.

This provided me with some great lower hamstring stretches and it was kind of a  nice off day all things considering. After a 4 sport day yesterday, and two broomball games to go, I was ready for an easy day of Yoga. I think the most challenging pose for the day was going from a knees on elbow head stand, directly into crow pose. I am getting better at holding my crow pose though. I also got some great hamstring work in which is definitely going to help in the long run. And while I don't think I'll be this guy....

 

I am definitely making substantial progress in my balance postures. For the moment I am doing the basic poses but will start taking variations at some point down the road. Today's practice was dedicated to all my friends going through job interviews and wishing the best of luck on their next journey.
