My Yoga Transformations

After a year and half of practice, time for some throwback and transformation pictures. A lot of yoga practitioners achieve much more than what I have till now, but that’s mostly because I am lazy sometimes 🙂 {Plus the winter turns me into a polar bear}

Natarajasana or Lord of the Dancer Pose

My goal is to do the overhand grip, like the one in below picture. The space between my fingers and toes feel like miles apart when I try to do that.

Bakasana or the Crow Pose

So many times I have come close to face plant the floor, and even ended up doing an awkward frog hop. The trick doesn’t just lie in the strength of the arms and core, but also the gaze. Because the body follows the gaze.

My goal is to do a straight arm Bakasana … someday… someday … sigh!!

Chakrasana or Wheel Pose

This I have been practicing a lot, but my middle back and shoulders need a lot a of work.

Right now my goal is to get the technique right, to easily breath while in upward bow position.

Wall Handstand

Till last year, I used to practice between doorways. But somehow, after about 50 -60 jumps, I finally managed to hold a wall handstand this February. Since then I have been trying to build the strength in my arms by holding the pose a little longer.
