Notes from #handstand practice Week 5
1. To make progress, I need to shift beyond my comfort zone.
The weight needs to be more forward. 😳
2. The left (female) side of the body and the right (male) side of the body partner to achieve balance and stability 🤝
My left arm has less strength than the right....and when kicking up with the right leg more weight is on my left arm... Which feels very unstable (in comparison to the stronger right).... Then the compensating patterns begin...SMH
PS...I have been practicing yoga for 20+ years but have never consistently practiced handstand. While I'm excited about reaching the destination, I'm focusing on the journey. #bepresent
#joinme on my road trip ...drop a photo or a note about your handstand practice 🙏
Can't upload Video here for some reason....find it on Instagram @yogawithlois
Hope you're all keeping it fun while staying focused.

hahaha you look great ♥️
I took this picture on Monday cause I was at my mother's house, the same place where I took the previous picture 10 years ago. but I fell on my back ahahaha I just tried again today, but I was afraid of falling. 😬 I'll try again tomorrow but I think I'll do it against the wall.
thank you for all this! I'm not as constant as I wanted, but it's been really great and challengeing to face everything that comes with the practice.
Pollyanna that looks amazing 🙌 you are very strong 💪
I agree...using the wall for a bit as you tap into muscle memories that haven't been used in 10 years sounds like a good plan. 😉
Yoga teaches us on so many levels....so does dancing...and life in general...if one takes a moment to reflect.
What are the kids up to this week? Do you do elephant pose with them? Or turtle?
Once I volunteered to teach high school age kids, but when I got to the volunteer center, it was a bunch of 5 year old kids...it was such a funny class...once I realized my original plan had to be tossed 😂
I think I'm often trying to do things by myself and sometimes I need help, I need support, even if it is from the wall ahahaha
my kids were upstairs and my son started to cry so l stopped the practice to go there. but I guess he saved me from my fear ahahaha
I'll find a picture of the elephant and turtle poses to do with them hahaha maybe that will encourage me to do the handstand practice more often
thank you, Lois! I love talking to you.
Whether it's the wall or a friend, the universe will always provide the support you need if you ask. 🫂
I'm excited you're finding time to get upside down with me....✨😁
I've attached a few links to the yoga poses for kids...
Hope you all have a great weekend 🔥
