As soon as the weekend arrives, I wake up my husband at 4:30 am (waking is an understatement 😛 ), make him drive 25 km to watch sunrise at Clovelly Beach. It had been my dream to be photographed like a silhouette against the rising sun. In case you haven’t read about this new obsession of his – read Husband Histrionics.
On the first day I tried few simple yoga poses as I had just started my practice and didn’t want to fall off the cliff with a pulled muscle.
 |
| Camel or Utrasana pose |
 |
| Dancer’s Pose or Natarajasana |
Last week was pretty awesome as the waves were super high, reaching heights higher than the cliff where I was standing.
I so wish I was in the position when the waves hit.
 |
| Warrior III or Virbhadrasana III |
I came across the Wild Thing pose while looking for Yoga photo-shoot ideas and was quite intimidated by it. It was only when I started Vinyasa flow I realized how easily you can get into this position. After much practise, here it is. I love how it opens up, like a blooming flower. So artistic!!
 |
| Camatkrasana or Wild Thing Pose |
 |
| Tree pose or Vrkasana |
 |
| Extended Hand to Big Toe Pose B or Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana B |
the scenes – these waves chased me around, drenched me while I was
standing in the Tree Pose, and my darling of a husband didn’t even warn
me, maybe seeking revenge for waking him up at unearthly hour, that too
on a weekend. But since he is an early rise, he didn’t complain much.
days it’s cardio and core. Since I don’t go to gym and have a tendency
to get bored easily, I have to keep looking for motivation.
long long longgggg way to go before I even start attempting headstands.
Frankly, it scares the hell out of me. And to top it all, my show off of
a husband does handstands like it’s a child play. And he knows no
humility, keeps taunting me whenever I am against the wall, pondering
whether to raise the left leg first or right. Hmmpphh!!!!

Hey you have shared such simple but effective yoga poses here in your blog. Your photo shoot idea is really unique, which I haven’t seen earlier. Do you have links of online yoga classes as I want to learn yoga with my husband? Help me dear.
