Sirsasana...

[fajrdrako]

Major triumph today: I managed to stand on my head for the first time in... a very long time.

I used to be able to do it with no problem. I learned during my first year of yoga classes when I was 18. Did it often - sometimes daily - for years. Then somewhere in the past five years, a combination of weight gain and indolence made me stop... and when I started again, I was horrified to discover I just couldn't get up on my head.

So embarrassing. At least it was only the budgies watching me try.

Finally persistence has paid off and I did a 30-second headstand today. Which isn't much at all, but it's a start.
